*** IN LOVING MEMORY OF ***
Richard Harry Shalla was born on Tuesday; July 1, 1930 in Iowa City; Johnson County, Iowa. Richard was the oldest of three children, to Ernest and Irene (Getman) Shalla. He was later joined by sisters, Joan Lee (Shalla) McCreedy and Mary Lou (Shalla) Wilson. Richard grew up during the depression and World War II era surrounded by many family members, including both sets of grandparents and a number of aunts and uncles. He helped his father who served as sexton of Oakland Cemetery in Iowa City and also while working various odd jobs in the Iowa City community.
Richard graduated from Iowa City High School in 1947 and entered the University of Iowa. He took classes for a year, excelling in Mathematics. He left school to go to work and in 1953 joined the United States Army. He was stationed in the Panama Canal Zone. He received an honorable discharge in 1955 and returned to Iowa City. After returning from the service Richard began work at the Iowa City Pipeline, filling large tanker trucks. During this time, he and his father also worked for Donahue-Lensing Funeral Home tending to gravesites in country cemeteries in Johnson County. In 1964, he decided on a job change and started working for Contractors Tool and Supply. Richard retired as an Assistant Manager in 1988.
Richard never married. He remained devotedly at home with his parents, taking care of both of them until his mother Irene passed away in 1982 of Alzheimer's and his father Ernest in 1988 of dementia and a stroke. His family spent many Sundays with friends eating delicious dinners, playing cards, and boating on the Iowa River, which were some of his happiest memories.
Richard was always a very quiet kind man with an infectious laugh whose greatest joy was tending to the outdoors, wildlife, and the river. Richard Harry Shalla, age 77 passed away peacefully on Thursday; June 21, 2007 at the Iowa Veterans Home in Marshaltown; Marshall County, Iowa after a yearlong trial with dementia. Those left to mourn his passing are: One brother-in-law: Bill McCreedy of Iowa City, Iowa. One cousin: Clayton (Faye) Shalla of Iowa City, Iowa. Three nieces: Cindy (Craig) Kiene of Downy. Sarah Smith of Tennessee and Shalla Wilson of Iowa City. Three nephews: John (Deb) McCreedy of San Diego; San Diego County, California. David (Cindy) and Joe (Annie) McCreedy both of Iowa City.

Richard was preceded in death by his sisters; Joan, who was killed in a motorcycle accident in 1980 and Mary Lou, who died of cancer in 2002 and her husband, Richard's brother-in-law David Wilson who died in 2003. May they rest in peace.
Visitation will be on Monday; June 25, 2007 from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. at the funeral home. Funeral services for Richard "Dick" Shalla will begin at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday; June 26, 2007.
