Also a number of aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces and cousins survive him. He was a graduate of Cradock High School and Old Dominion University, Dick was an avid sports enthusiast and enjoyed watching and participating. He coached youth soccer, baseball and basketball during his 18-year residence in Michigan. But his favorite time was watching his daughter excel in her equestrian competition and his son in his multi-sport athletic skills. Upon retirement from General Motors Acceptance Corporation as the corporate insurance auditor based in Detroit, he and Charlene relocated to Chesapeake. They engaged in many activities with relatives and his old friends from high school and college. They also made many new friends in the Great Bridge area. The shining light of his life was his wife, parents, children and grandchildren, whom he loved dearly. They will all miss him dearly.
