The son of John D. & Marie Womack, he was born on December 30, 1928 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Colonel Womack served 34 years in the U.S. Army from 1950-1984. He had a long distinguished career, entering as a Private in 1950 and, after going through OCS, he held numerous command and key staff positions. He was a rifle company commander in the Korean War, and on General Westmoreland's staff and Special Operations in the Vietnam War. His career included intelligence and Defense Attache assignments, and contracting and procurement assignments in both Far Eastern and European countries. After his long army career he also served for seven years with the U.S. Agency For International Development in Egypt, Kenya and Ukraine. Richard was first and foremost a soldier. His love for the Army was pure, true and absolute. He loved the military life with a passion and dedication that never wavered. He inspired the troops who served under him to reach outside themselves, to go beyond their own limitations, to achieve something greater than they had believed themselves capable of. His ability to motivate people and to get the job done earned him the admiration and respect of his co-workers and superiors. He is survived by his wife Julie, of Lopez Island; daughters, Tracy Haraldsen of Virginia, Mary Jenney and Amy Andrews, both of California; grandaughters, Elizabeth and Brenna Haraldsen of Virginia, Danielle Andrews, Alexandra and Samantha Jenney, all of California; sisters, Patricia Shelby, Jean Brown and Mary Sue Mitchell, all of Oklahoma, and a brother, Edward Womack of Oklahoma.

The compiler Roger Womack, had several conversations with Dick before he passed away. He told me stories of when he and his cousin Jim (James Garner) were boys in Oklahoma, playing Tarzan, and many of their antics. He will be missed.
