Carmel Parochial School. His service in the United States Navy during the Korean War marked a period of great pride and dedication in his life.

Dick fulfilled his lifelong dream of owning a retreat in Northern Michigan, where his passion for hunting and fishing thrived. Alongside his beloved wife Neva, he purchased Trails Campground and later founded Guy’s Cleaning, which served the Grayling and Roscommon communities for over 20 years.
