A lifelong Cardinal fan, Dick will be remembered for his positive outlook, his jokes and the ability to use an Irish brogue at the drop of a hat. A long-time volunteer at Missouri Baptist Medical Center and a veteran of the Korean War, he was proud to go on St. Louis Honor Flight in 2017.

Loving grandfather of Jeff (Kim) Goldstone, Alison (Dave) Culp, Danielle (David) Singer, Bryan (Divya) Glass, Blake, Erica and Kate Waddington, Elijah, Aviel and Samarah Strauss. Proud great-grandfather of seven fantastic kids. Special friend of Gloria Feldman, fond brother, brother-in-law, uncle and dear friend of many, he will be missed.
