Richard 'Dick' Haberman

Richard Frederick "Dick" Haberman, 93, died Sept. 11 at Powell Valley Hospital.
A son of Wyoming homesteaders Ebba and Max Haberman, Dick was born on May 10, 1916 in the same home he lived in for 91 years.
He was a farmer, who often passed up leisure for a long day's work. He built the West Drive-In in Cody in 1949. He operated the drive-in by night and farmer by day, occasionally slipping off to enjoy a day of fishing. Dick designed and manufactured the "Haberman Land Leveler" that is still used by many in the irrigated fields fo Wyoming and Montana. He was a long-time member and trustee of the Fraternal Order of Eagles. He placed a high value on integrity, a belief he passed along to his family.
He is survived by his wife of 69 years, Nellie; four children Sharon Kammeyer of Cody, Ronald of Casper, and Joyce Butler and Gail Kennedy-Bartoe, both of Vail, Colo.; five grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
Private services have been held. At a later date, his ashes will be placed near the old apple trees at the Willwood homestead where he spent most of his life.
