Condolences
KARC member Dick Cartwright passed
away. Please keep Dick’s family in your prayers.
Richard “Dick” Cartwright passed
away on November 28th, at his home, surrounded by loved ones. He was
a lifelong resident of the Holston community of Blountville.
He earned a B.S. from ETSU and an
M.S. from UT. He taught at Northeast State for 17 years, starting with Automotive
and ending with Economics. Dick was a lifelong member of Wheeler UMC, past
president of Kingsport Antique and Rod Club and founder of the Muddy Creek
Bologna Tasting Society. He was a purveyor in ferrous oxides, vintage car
enthusiast and farmer. He will be remembered for his quick wit and sense of
humor. Mr. Cartwright was preceded in death by his wife of 29
years, Pat Cartwright. Dick was lucky enough to have two
great loves, and is survived by his wife Susie Rutledge, daughters Heather
Cartwright and Hilary Cartwright Radford, and granddaughter Renee Radford.
A celebration of life will be held in the spring of 2022. Please email dickcartwrightmemorial@gmail.com
