DODGE CITY – Richard "Rick" Hinderliter, 74, died Saturday, April 24, 2021 at SunPorch in Dodge City.

He was born February 23, 1947. He was the jack of all trades. He knew a little bit about everything but never quite enough about any one thing. He liked to fix things and always had "extree" parts left, but somehow made it work. He always wanted to know what the next meal would be, even while still eating the first one. He enjoyed fishing, golfing, watching westerns on TV, and gardening. He liked leather and wood working, making many pieces for his family. He loved his family especially the children, you could always find him with a kid, or a pet on his lap, spoiling them, and giving out treats.

On March 17, 1978 he married Lois (Castor) Hinderliter at Dumas, Texas. She preceded him in death on April 21, 2017.
