Dick was a lifelong farmer up until his retirement in 2000. During his farming years, he was a dealer for Trojan seed corn and also served as a Seward County Commissioner. Dick enjoyed playing Pinochle and other card games with friends. His hobby was restoring antique tractors. Over the years, he traveled many miles to buy and sell them. In his later years, he enjoyed tilling gardens for people in the community. He loved watching old westerns and listening to polka music and watching polka shows on television.
