Richard ‘Dick’ Gifford
Dick Gifford was born Feb 9, 1939, in Chattanooga, TN and passed away Feb 24, 2018, after a long illness in Bradenton, FL. Dick is greatly loved and missed, and we give thanks and praise to the God of Heaven for His mercy and deliverance.
Dick was the dealer for Monroe Auto World, The Honda Store, and Regency Motors from 1982 until his retirement in 1997. Dick loved the automobile business as much as he enjoyed fishing after retiring to the Florida Keys.
