Dick was a true entrepreneur. He enjoyed learning and starting many different types of businesses from shoe stores and coin laundries, to picture framing and cattle farming. He spent his final years focused on spreading love through nursing home visits, meal deliveries, toy puppy giveaways, and other small acts of kindness.

Dick had a natural charisma and love of life and enjoyed sharing his passions with others. He was most happy when he was working, with friends, or outdoors. He will be greatly missed.
