Dick was an entrepreneur at heart, founding and operating several local businesses, including Finfrock Appliance Services for 40 years, Pizza Plus Drive Thru in New Carlisle, and Liberty Nursery and Christmas Tree Farm, to name a few.

passion was his horses and harness racing. His strong work ethic was a legacy he proudly passed on to his children. Dick was baptized at Asbury United Methodist Church, where he also taught Sunday School and later would attend church services with his family at Home Road Nazarene. He took pride in serving his local community and had served as the Mayor of Lawrenceville.

He will forever be remembered for his sentimental and loving heart, famous red hat, $2 bills, always helping others, hosting family gatherings, taking Gracie everywhere, and would always say "call me when you get home."
