Richard B. “Dick” Imhoff, Sr., 63, of Lancaster, passed away peacefully into the arms of the Lord surrounded by his family after a courageous battle with cancer on Tuesday, June 22, 2010 at home. He was the loving husband of Carol M. Wanger Imhoff, his beloved wife of 42 years. Born in Lancaster on December 31, 1946, he was the son of the late Charles B. and Margaret Ream Imhoff.
Dick was a 1964 graduate of Lampeter-Strasburg High School. During the Vietnam War, he enlisted in the US Army in 1964, serving as a radar specialist and sharp shooter. He was a carpenter by trade, and this was his passion. He was meticulous and skilled in his work and was a dedicated employee of Warfel Construction for the past 6 years. He spent much time using his incredible skills not only building his own home at a young age, but remodeling his sons homes with skill and precision. Dick also enjoyed hunting at his cabin with his sons and close cousin, Robert Martin, and vacationing at the shore.
He is survived, in addition to his wife, by a brother, Charles S., husband of Marie Imhoff; three sons, Richard B. Jr., husband of Anita Imhoff, James C. Imhoff, and Shane M., husband of Jennifer Imhoff; 6 grandchildren, Joseph Hanna, Tyla Zimmerman, Hayley Benyo, Jake Benyo, Lacey Imhoff, and Ashlyn Imhoff.

Snyder Funeral Home on Wednesday from 9:30 a.m. until the time of service. Interment with full military honors will be at Conestoga Memorial Park.
