Dick was a family man first and foremost. He married the love of his life Teri in 1981.

Always enjoyed making the kids smile. He loved playing baseball, watching sports with the family, and supporting their dreams.

He graduated from Washington state University. Go Cougs! And proudly supported them. Taking many trips to Pullman with his family even attending both Rose Bowls. Dick was a fan of all Seattle sports teams: a season ticket holder of the Seahawks from 1976 to 2005. And going to Sonics and Mariner games with his family.

Dick also loved to travel. One of his favorite places to visit being Maui. No matter where the family was a great time was had thanks to him.
