Gone but never forgotten. Impactful YMCA leader, Dick Webster has passed away. With great sadness, we share Dick’s passing on September 25, 2022, after a long, courageous battle with Parkinson’s disease. Dick is a legend at our Y, known for his innovative ideas, fundraising and volunteer development, and strong leadership skills. He had a long career in the Y movement throughout the US, but his proudest work was at the Mission Valley YMCA as the Vice President/Executive Director from 1989 to his retirement. He had a passion for fundraising and community outreach, evident with some of Mission Valley’s programs and facilities still strengthening our community today. Dick was instrumental in constructing Mission Valley YMCA’s outdoor pool, Krause Family Skate Park, facility expansions and renovations, and the construction of the Toby Wells Family YMCA. Dick also developed several programs for youth and adults that were adopted by Ys nationally, such as our PRYDE program. We are so thankful for Dick and his dedication to our Y and those we serve. We hope he left this world onto the next with the pleasure of knowing his legacy at our YMCA will continue long into the future. . 🤍
