(Port Angeles) -- A memorial fund has been established to benefit the children of a Port Angeles Department of Transportation worker.
42-year old Neal Richards was killed while clearing storm debris on Highway 101 during last Thursday's windstorm.
A "Neal Richards Memorial Fund" has been set up at all Washington branches of Bank of America.
Neal is survived by his parents, three brothers, his wife, two children and three step-children.
He was preceded in death by his brother and his sister, who was a road crew flagger killed last year in a highway construction work zone.
Richards' funeral and memorial services are planned for Saturday and are open to the public.
A procession will begin at 11 a.m. from Drennan Ford Funeral Home at 260 Monroe Road in Port Angeles and travels to Sequim.
Graveside services will begin at noon at Sequim View Cemetery, 1505 Sequim-Dungeness Way.
Following the graveside service, a memorial will be held at 2 p.m. at the Port Angeles Elks Lodge. A reception will follow.
The family advises that if you choose to send flowers, they may be sent to the Elks Lodge after 8 a.m. Saturday so they can be included in the memorial service.
Delivery address is 131 E First Street in Port Angeles. The funeral home will not be receiving flowers.
