Dick was a jack of all trades – never truly retiring. He was always available when someone needed a hand. He was an active community volunteer, a former township trustee, and real estate agent. He loved to travel and had many interesting stories to tell. He will be remembered for his great sense of humor and contagious laugh. Dick had a love for building and drawing up plans. His career was spent in the lumber business as he worked for PK Lumber, and managed Carter Lumber, as well as Ohio Lumber.
