After serving his country in the U.S. Marine Corps, Dick became a state employee, retiring in 1989 as Director of Food Service from Winnebago Mental Health Institute. After retirement, Dick and Marilyn enjoyed traveling, including many trips abroad. More than anything, Dick enjoyed spending time with his family. Other interests included wooden boats, playing cribbage, bingo, and tinkering with his old radios. An occasional trip to the casino put a twinkle in his eyes.
