Born in The Dalles, Dick enlisted in the United States Navy in 1946. He served as a sonarman aboard multiple destroyers in the Pacific before and during the Korean War.

Dick was married to LaVelle Bolton on August 6, 1950.  They worked their wheat farm south of town and raised their daughter, Pamela.  In addition to farmer, husband, and father, Dick was also a full-time employee at Clifford Martin in town.   In his “spare time”, Dick served for 14 years on the Wasco County-The Dalles City Recreation Commission, 12 years on the Mid-Columbia Community TV Board, 16 years on the Northern Wasco County PUD Board, 20 years on the Wasco County Soil and Water Conservation District Board, and he was an active member of the Oregon Wheat League.

Dick was predeceased by his brother John in 1998 and his daughter Pam in 2012.  He is survived by his loving wife of nearly 70 years, LaVelle.  He is also survived by brother Carl, of Bakersfield, CA; son-in-law Ron Moffitt of Redmond; grandson Kit Moffitt and wife Charlotte Scofield of Mount Vernon, WA; grandson Kurt Moffitt and wife Jenni Moffitt of Redmond, and two great-grandchildren Kelsie and Tanner of Redmond.
