Dick lived in Harpers Ferry, IA, for the past nine years and made many friends there. He lived a full life with no regrets. Dick has told many that he was ready to go when he was called, and looked forward to being with his wife Jackie again.

Dick's life was full of activities he enjoyed, and he traveled to many places during his time in this world. No matter where he went, he found friends. He always had a story or a joke to tell, and supported several charities. Dick served his beloved country in the US Army as a military policeman, and had a few other interesting occupations. He had a great love for nature, and many of his hobbies involved being outdoors and away from it all.
