A proud graduate of Elder High School (1958) and the University of Cincinnati (1978), Dick served his community as a Cincinnati Police Officer for 35 years. He was also a gifted athlete who excelled in baseball, hockey, softball, and golf. He was a member of the 1957 Bentley Post National Championship baseball team, continued playing baseball well after high school, played hockey for the Junior Mohawks, and competed in softball for the Cincinnati FOP 69 team. Dick and his wife, Bonnie, were avid golfers, and Dick went on to manage Hidden Valley Golf Course in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, for five years in the early 2000s.

Dick was also a passionate fan of professional sports—especially the Cincinnati Bengals, holding season tickets for 52 years.

Dick met Bonnie, the love of his life, in 1959 through mutual friends, beginning a partnership defined by deep love for each other and their family.

A devoted father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, Dick cherished cheering on his family in all of their favorite activities and spending time with extended relatives.

He and Bonnie also loved traveling extensively with friends and family, though two of Dick's favorite places to be were in the Smoky Mountains or anywhere watching the ocean.

The family would like to thank the staff at Western Hills Retirement Village and Queen City Hospice for their incredible care and compassion.

Visitation will be held at St. Antoninus Church, 1500 Linneman Rd., on Tuesday, November 17, from 9:30 AM until the Mass of Christian Burial at 11:00 AM.
