Richard "Dick" Christensen, 90, of Green Bay, beloved husband of the late Darleen (Thirion) Christensen, departed this life peacefully surrounded by his family on Thursday, January 9, 2020 at Bellin Memorial Hospital.
Dick was born August 10, 1929 in Green Bay, son of the late Clarence Christensen and Camilla Carter. In his 20's Dick was a Golden Gloves Boxer and a member of the Amateur Athletic Union of the United States. He was employed at Morning Glory Dairy for many years and later owned and operated Dick and Dar's Club 32 in De Pere. Dick was a great story teller and could make everyone laugh.

He was a devoted catholic and man of faith. The most important thing to Dick was spending time with his family and grandchildren.
