Dick’s family moved from Indiana to Memphis, Tennessee, where he met his future wife. Dick worked as a DOD computer Specialist with the government for 35 years. This job took him to Pennsylvania along with his wife and four children in 1995.
Dick loved coaching, farming, being outdoors, and helping others. He lived a life of service and took the opportunity to help his friends often with an unparalleled sense of humor. He was the lead on Hound Packs in our community where weekend meals were provided to children with food insecurities.
