Richard Thrun, 73, passed
away unexpectedly on Dec.
22, 2014, in the city he loved,
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
Dick was born on Nov. 20,
1941, in Wauwatosa, Wis., to
Elroy and Anita Thrun. He
was a graduate of Horicon
High and also held many ath-
letic school records. Prior to
joining the Army he attend-
ed the University of Wiscon-
sin-Madison and played foot-
ball for the Badgers and also
the Berliner Bears Army
team in Berlin, Germany. It
was here he met his first
wife, Erika Thrun. In 1963
they moved back to the U.S.
with first child, DeAnna
Hendricks.
Dick’s ca-
reer began as
a local police-
man. But his
part-time job
working for
M o d e r n
Woodmen of
Dick Thrun America un-
covered his
true gift of helping others.
Modern Woodmen was hon-
ored to have Dick move from
representative to supervisor
to agency manager. He en-
joyed a career that spanned
30 years, winning numerous
awards, recognitions and
trips. The position of agency
manager moved Dick and his
family to central Minnesota.
In 1981 Dick met Mary
Zack and a new blended fam-
ily was created. Residences
in Hastings and Prescott
hold many fond memories.
After Dick’s early retire-
ment, new adventures began.
Although their permanent
address was Hood River,
Ore., full-time RV living took
them on countless and mem-
orable jour neys. Loving
warm weather in the winter
they traveled to Hawaii for
several years. However, Puer-
to Vallarta, Mexico, became
his winter home for the past
25 years.
Dick was preceded in
death by his son, Derek
Thrun; parents Elroy and
Anita Thrun; siblings Curt
Thrun and Roxy Schrauf-
nagel; and grandsons Bran-
don and Devon Lauwagie.
He is survived by his wife
of 29 years, Mary Zack. Chil-
dren and grandchildren in-
clude: DeAnna (Scott) Hen-
dricks, Jenny, Alex and Katie
Hendricks; Kirk (Sherie)
Zack, Collete and Colson
Zack; Dan (friend Pam Borst)
Thrun, Katie Kuper and Tan-
ner Thrun; Laura (Ross)
Kropp, Samantha and Kasey
Kropp; Katharine (Jesse)
Riewe, Jake and Mason
Lauwagie; Rich Thrun and
beloved dog Lacy. Dick is also
survived by siblings Sharon
(Bob) Wieshoff, Elroy (Car-
olyn) Thrun and nieces and
nephews, Tracy Thrun, Car-
rie Brooks, Tim Thrun,
Renea Mueller, Mike and
Corey Moede and countless
family and friends.
A celebration of Dick’s
life will be held at a later
date. Donations to your
local food shelf/bank in his
memory are preferred.

“Bittersweet Harvest: The
Bracero Program 1942 – 1964”
is a moving bilingual exhibi-
tion organized by the Smith-
sonian’s National Museum of
American History. It exam-
ines the experiences of
bracero workers and their
families, providing rich in-
sight into Mexican American
history and historical back-
ground to today’s debates on
guest worker programs.
The exhibition combines
recent research, powerful pho-
tographs from the Smithson-
ian’s collection, and audio ex-
cerpts from oral histories con-
tributed by former contract
workers.
The Bracero Program of
1942-1964 allowed 4.6 million
Mexicans to work in the U.S.
over the program’s 22-year ex-
istence. The benefits and pit-
falls are described in this trav-
eling Smithsonian exhibit
that comes as some U.S. law-
makers consider a new
Bracero worker program as
part of immigration reform.
Sponsored locally by U.S.
Bank and the Jackson Foun-
dation, the exhibit “Bitter-
sweet Harvest: The Bracero
Program” will be on display
in the Columbia Gorge Dis-
covery Center’s River Gallery
through February 15, 2015.
