Dick was a fun-loving humorist who always made people laugh with his witty puns and his dry sense of humor.

He boxed and played football for Western Michigan University and the semi pro Dearborn All-stars football team, he also played softball and golf in his later years. He enjoyed playing cards especially euchre, pinochle, and cribbage. Dick was an avid hunter and loved going to Canada Creek Ranch where he hunted, snowmobiled and enjoyed watching wildlife and being in the great outdoors.
