Richard (Dick) Rosenquist, of Saratoga, left this world suddenly and peacefully on December 14, 2023, at age 89.  Survived by his three living children, he will be deeply missed.

Born September 19, 1934, in Minneapolis, Minnesota to Blache and Emmet Rosenquist, he was the second oldest of four children. In 1943 the family moved from the Minneapolis farmhouse to Oakland, California suburbs.

In 1950, Dick Rosenquist was introduced to Germaine (Gerry) Lopes and on November 5, 1950, they began "going steady".  Home on leave from the Air Force, they got married on December 23, 1954. They loved each other dearly. On February 12, 2018, Gerry passed away. Dick visited her gravesite every day after her passing.

Beginning in 1963, Dick and Gerry adopted their first of four children. In 1970 their last child, a son, was born to them. This completed their family of five children. Both were devoted and loving parents.

In 1960 Dick entered the University of California College of Engineering and in 1962 began his engineering career as an Electrical Engineer. At age 62, he retired from GTE Government Systems, then worked several years later at ESL before fully retiring. As an avid photographer and wood worker, he happily kept busy until the very end of his life.

The funeral service will be held on December 21, 10:30am at Alameda Family Funeral Home 12341 Saratoga-Sunnyvale Rd. Interments to follow at the Gate of Heaven Cemetery 22555 Cristo Rey Rd Los Altos.
