Dick graduated in 1954 from Calvert High School.  He served in the United States Army from September 28, 1956 to September 28, 1958, stationed in Leipheim, Germany.  Early in his career, Dick was a carpenter, building church pews and then was a mail carrier for the United States Post Office, retiring in 1991.  He proudly said he was retired longer than his years as a mail carrier.  He was a member of St. Joseph Catholic Church.

Dick was a beloved father and grandfather to his children and their grandchildren.  He loved attending their athletic games and events and quietly letting them know how much he cared about them.  He was very handy with tools and often helped his children with their homes and taught them to do it themselves except for Paul and Pete who would teach him a few tricks.  He loved playing cards, going to shows with Madeline and most of all, he loved his Cleveland Indians baseball team.
