Richard Aubrey (Dick) Fry passed away on Friday, May 23,2025 at ECU Health Duplin Hospital in Kenansville at the age of 88, the oldest male (to date) in the Revelle family line.

His parents, Helen and Eddie Smoot, and grandparents Carrie and Thomas Revelle preceded him in death.

Left to honor his memory and retell the family stories are Joyce Ann, his loving wife; Anne (Mike), Janie (Steve), Donna (Bill), and Chris (Ray), his sisters; Georgianna (Tracy), Daryl, Selena, and Richard (Susan), his children; and Kylie, Nick (Sarah), Carson (Reagan), Christine (Jake), Chandler (Samantha) and Rick (Katie), his grandchildren; and Luke, Zach, and Connor, his great-grandchildren.

Dick enjoyed farming, fishing, and football. He loved to tell stories about his ancestry which his family will continue to cherish. He was an instructor at James Sprunt Community College where he taught automotive mechanics and was supervisor for adult education classes before retiring. He obtained his masters degree from N.C. State while working full-time. He enjoyed watching the Wolfpack play football on Saturday afternoons. He was a true Washington Redskins fan, which meant most Sundays, during football season, he could be found in his recliner watching football games. His love of fishing made for some interesting tales and friendships that he cherished. He kept a garden as long as he was physically able and grew some of the best sweet corn in the county, according to his family.

The family would like to thank the doctors and nurses of ECU Health Duplin Hospital and Goshen Medical - Beulaville for their competence, care, and compassion.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to St. Jude Children's Hospital, and Beulaville Presbyterian Church.
