He graduated from High School and also attended college to be an accountant. On July 1st, 1956, he married his sweetheart, Cecelia Ann Springsguth.

Dick worked many years as a district manager at Home Depot. He loved the retail world. He was very successful at it because he loved people and talking to them. He enjoyed making bird houses, going to garage sales, and watching football. He had a great sense of humor and always loved telling a good joke. He also enjoyed reading history novels and spending time with his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren whenever he could.
