Dick graduated from Sheridan High School in Perry County, Ohio. He worked as a heavy equipment operator on several surface mines and later Corridor H. He loved to deer hunt and enjoyed all day fishing trips with his special friend, Elmer Currence. He loved his family dearly and always made sure to tell them so. He looked forward to every family dinner and holiday with them. He enjoyed sitting on the porch with his wife and any company that decided to join them. Grandpa was a jack of all trades and to his grandkids, there was nothing impossible for him. He was never caught without his pocketknife, hat, pistol or tobacco. He will be missed very much by all who loved and knew him.
The family would like to thank the doctors, nurses and staff of United Hospital Center, St. Joseph's Hospital and Crestview Manor Healthcare Center for the care they provided.
