Richard "Burt" Shattuck's Obituary
Richard "Burt" Shattuck, 80, died June 27, 2011, in Flagstaff. He was born March 14, 1931, in Bexar County, Texas, to Willard Dean Shattuck and Wanda Vogel Shattuck.
His passions in high school were motorcycles and football. He was awarded "All Conference" honors for his play as a guard on his high school offensive line. After serving in the U.S. Navy during the Korean conflict, he married Bonnie Kleypas in San Antonio, Texas.
Mr. Shattuck started his professional career as a supervisor for the Rainbow Bread Baking Company. His entrepreneurial spirit drove him to move to Flagstaff in 1966 to open the Der Wienerschnitzel restaurant, selling 15-cent hot dogs. He turned his talents to helping to open the Flagstaff Ice Arena as its first concessionaire in the early 1970s. He settled into his professional calling in 1981, when he obtained his real estate broker's license. He eventually opened a Century 21 brokerage in Flagstaff, retiring in 2006.
Mr. Shattuck was a strong advocate of giving back to his community. He was a member of the Malpais Kiwanis Legion of Honor and was a past-president of the chapter. He also served as a chairman of the Salvation Army Advisory Board and worked as a president of the Northern Arizona MLS. Christmas after Christmas he could be found helping youth charities earn money for their programs by setting up Christmas tree stands. Between professional efforts and community service, he managed to eke out time to enjoy a hobby in photography.
Mr. Shattuck is survived by his wife of 55 years, Bonnie Shattuck; children Donna (Jim) Smith, Debbie Nibecker, Jill (Tony) Schuster, and Richard (Patti) Shattuck, Jr.; eight grandchildren; and one great-grandchild.
He was preceded in death by his daughter, Diana (Mark) Larson.
Rosary will be recited Friday at 7 p.m. at the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. A funeral Mass will be celebrated Saturday at 1:30 p.m. Following services, there will be a reception at St. Pius X Center.
The family requests that in lieu of flowers remembrances and gifts be made to the Malpais Kiwanis to support its efforts on behalf of youth programs.
