Dick spent his childhood in Washington D.C. He was gifted with an incredible memory and regaled his family and friends with many stories of his adventures growing up in the city.

Upon his return to Washington D.C., he met his beloved wife Margaret and married in 1956. They went on to have three (3) children, David, Dana and Tracy. In 1960 the family moved to Waldorf, MD where Dick began his career in the beer distributor industry until his retirement. He was the consummate salesman and his passion for the industry remained throughout his life. In retirement he enjoyed working at a local farmers market, and traveling with Margaret.
