Dick was born in St. Louis, Missouri to Fred and Thelma Oertli. He graduated from Princeton University in 1969. Afterwards, he joined the Marine Corps and honorably served his country. Later he obtained his J.D. at St. Louis University School of Law in 1976.

Dick's great love for the mountains and his Colorado lifestyle filled his life with satisfaction and happiness. The brotherhood of the Corp meant everything to him.

Dick was the best "step father" but he wasn´t that, he was an amazing father. He taught me work ethic, he taught me how to stay strong, even in rough times. He was someone I could push his buttons against and still be a good man even if I mad his face red, he also kept his for composure. I am beyond Grateful, for knowing and having the teachings from
Richard, my 2nd. Dad. RIP what is
