He played the organ and accordion and enjoyed spending time with friends and family, telling many stories.

He was an active member of the Jehovah’s Witnesses congregation in Hardwick, VT, sharing his faith with others in the community. Dick was loved by all. He was a truly kind and gentle man, loving husband, and father.
