Richard Dean Padrick Scholarship Scholarship
Established by a gift from the estate of Richard Dean Padrick, known as Dick. He attended California Polytechnic University at Pomona, playing basketball, from 1965 to 1968. He eventually worked as a Civil Engineer, primarily designing water systems for new developments. Working as an engineer most of his life, he met Stacy Winnick collaborating on the design and construction of a traffic circle in Seattle.
Dick joined the Navy in 1969 and served with the Seabees (C.B.’s). His construction battalion served in Vietnam building barracks and preparing other essential infrastructure. After active duty, he served in the Naval Reserve, retiring in 1994, about 25 years total. He received a National Defense Service Medal, a Vietnam Service Medal, a Vietnam Campaign Medal, a Navy Commendation, and RVN Construction Service Medal, a Navy Achievement Medal, and a Meritorious Unit Commendation. He attained the rank of Captain.
