Those who knew Dicky, knew he loved life, but most of all treasured his family.
Richard worked for the School Bus Inc., and the Minnehaha Co. Juvenile Detention Center before retiring in 2001. Dick and Candy also volunteered for the Special Olympics of Sioux Falls. He touched the lives of so many and was determined to make a difference in everyone he came into contact with.

My prayers & thoughts are with Dick’s family…I had the pleasure to work with Dick at JDC…Yes, he was such a loving and caring person…always talking about his family and especially Candy…
May you RIP Dick
So many great memories growing up with such fun loving uncle like you. Rest in peace, I love you Uncle Dick.
This man will greatly be missed. Grateful for the opportunity I had to work with him at JDC. Man had spirit…and the heart of a wild child. So many were able to learn and grow from him sharing his experiences. Even back in 2000 Dick had his health set backs but that never deterred him from coming to work with a joke in his pocket and determination to get through to the hardest of kids. He loved to be in the kitchen cooking and the kids were stoked because he could take anything bland and make it gourmet!
Dick was my school Bus driver and One of the nicest guys Ive known.. He will be dearly missed by all.. He always told me he never wanted to see me in jdc so stay out of trouble… Rip dick
We have a lot of fond memories of camping and being close with Dick & Candy when all of our kids were young. Dale and Dick were friends back when they were kids and swapped pigeons together. Dick & Candy are now together again. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Dicks girls, his Mom and sister and all of Dicks family. Cherish your memories.
I miss and love you Brother!
