Dick graduated from Bexley High School in 1951 and went on to serve in the US Air Force and served during the Korean Conflict as a jet engine mechanic. During his service, Dick was stationed at Shepherd and Lackland Air Force Bases in Texas, Lake Charles Air Force Base in Louisiana, Chanute Air Force Base in Illinois and was later stationed in England. After returning home, he attended OSU and then went to work for State Auto Insurance Company and went on to serve on the Board of Directors and retired as Vice President with 33 years of service. Dick was one to reach out to help those in need. He enjoyed sports such as tennis, football, basketball, and boating. He loved his family and his beloved dogs.
