Dick dedicated 41 years of his career to the Plumbers and Pipefitters Union Local 12. He was extremely proud of his union membership and deeply valued the friendships he made throughout the years. Most recently, he was honored to receive his 65-year membership pin from Local 12, a recognition that meant a great deal to him.

Following his retirement, Dick and Marge spent 18 years traveling throughout the United States in their RV, exploring the country together and enjoying many memorable hot air balloon rides along the way. They lived in Abington for 55 years, where they built lasting friendships with their neighbors and became cherished members of the community. Dick also enjoyed cooking for family and friends and took great pride in caring for his yard.
