For many years, Dick was the Farm Manager at SmithKline Animal Health Products' Research Center in East Goshen. In 1993 he was able to realize his life-long dream of managing the family farm full-time-he became a man "out standing in his field". He worked tirelessly and never hesitated to share his incredible knowledge and passion for farming with family and friends.
Dick was a kind and generous person, always willing to stop and help others no matter how much work needed to be done. He had a beautiful smile, a quick wit, and the ability to put everyone at ease. He had a special bond with animals, they instantly trusted him and responded to him.
He loved working side-by-side with his brothers nephews and extended family, Sunday dinners and hosting Christmas Eve with everyone who came to the farm. Dick was grateful and felt truly blessed to be able to live his life doing what he loved with the people he loved.
