With Anneliese, they enjoyed x country and alpine skiing, skating, cycling and hiking in the Pembina Valley. They enjoyed ski trips to Colorado and Idaho with friends and trips back to Anneliese’s Austria. He enjoyed his involvement with the Passion Play production in La Riviere both behind the scenes and on set.

Dick was a champion of sport as an athlete, coach, mentor, scout and builder. He had an impressive hockey career in both Canada and Europe. Dick spent many summers sharing his passion and knowledge of hockey with many aspiring athletes. He gave back to sport organizations such as: the La Riviere Ski Club, Manitoba; Alpine Ski Division, Manitoba; Sports Federation, Canada; Sports Federation, Manitoba; Amateur Sports Association; Swiss team representative World Juniors, Manitoba; Municipal Recreation Directors Association; and the Winnipeg Recreation Directors Association

Dick was an easy going soul with a great sense of humour. He demonstrated genuine warmth and caring to all that crossed his path.
