Later in life, he brought joy to many people through his music and singing in nursing homes, hospitals, jails, churches and parks in the area.

He enjoyed cooking the rewards of his labor, vension steaks and rainbow trout. If you knew Dick, you knew he had an enormous sweet tooth and he made the most delicious peanut butter and chocolate fudge. If you spent time with Dick, you were sure to enjoy good food, great company, and many many laughs. He was active in The Glen Baptist Church until he moved to Corning, NY. He began the Park Ministry with his wife Jean in Watkins Glen where they ministered to visitors through music, song, and The Word of God. All who knew him were truly blessed.
