Richard Pohl

Richard Pohl, 95, of Olympia, passed away peacefully at Swedish Hospital in Seattle on January 8, 2013, with his family by his side. Richard was born August 11, 1917, in Seattle, WA. His parents and five siblings moved to Kent when he was a young boy. He graduated from Kent High School in 1935. Richard and his brother, Irving, owned and operated a fur farming business in the Kent Valley for 32 years. Richard and his wife, Helen, moved from Kent to Seabeck, on the Hood Canal, in 1980. The Pohls moved to Lacey in 2005. Richard was a life-time member of the First Baptist Church in Kent, WA. In recent years, Richard was an active member of the Lacey Senior Center, and enjoyed the time he spent there with friends. He is survived by his wife Helen of Lacey; daughters Sharon Genzlinger and Marilyn (Bob) Greenway; grand-daughter Stacey Genzlinger, all of Olympia; and brother, Harold Pohl of Garden Grove, CA. A celebration of life will be held in the spring at a date to be determined. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in Richard’s name to the Lacey Senior Center Building Fund, PO Box 3522, Lacey, WA 98509.
