Dick worked in private practice in Wahoo, Nebraska and Grand Island, Nebraska, where he also served as an Assistant District Attorney. He was then appointed as County Court Judge for Hall County. In 1982, Dick married Doris Silver and they spent 38 years building wonderful memories. After leaving Grand Island, Dick and Doris lived in Las Vegas, Nevada and Biloxi, Mississippi before settling in Loveland, Colorado. They enjoyed traveling together to the Caribbean and Europe. Dick was an avid reader and a Master Bridge player. He was actively involved throughout his life in theater, and church and community choirs. He was strong in his Christian faith. Dick is survived by his wife, Doris (Silver), daughter Amy and son Daniel, brother Allen (Laura), and nephews: Bryce, Colton and Luke.
