Richard H. Offutt Sr., 91, who worked as a budget analyst with the Veterans Administration for three decades, died Feb. 8 at Sentara Williamsburg Regional Medical Center in Williamsburg.
He had pneumonia, said his daughter Linda Winterhoff.
Mr. Offutt joined the Veterans Administration after serving in the Army in the Pacific theater during World War II. He retired in the mid-1970s and moved from Kensington to Williamsburg about five years ago.

Mr. Offutt was a past treasurer of Christ Church Episcopal Parish in Kensington and a volunteer with Meals on Wheels. He coached youth baseball in Montgomery County when his children were growing up in the early 1960s.
Survivors include his wife of 68 years, Hilda Kelly Offutt of Williamsburg; four children, Linda Winterhoff and Kathleen Carlson, both of Williamsburg, Nancy Shockley of Bel Air, Md., and Richard Offutt Jr. of Westminster, Md.; 10 grandchildren; and 15 great-grandchildren.
