Dick joined the Navy as an Electronics Technician in 1945 and was discharged in summer of ’46, as World War II was over. He met his lifelong love and wife, Emily, while attending Alfred University where he received his Bachelor’s of Science Degree. Dick furthered his education at Kent State and graduated in 1952 with a Masters Degree in Physics. He worked various private sector jobs in his early career as a Research Analyst Physicist; finishing the last half of his career working for the government at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in Rockville, MD. Dick and Emily moved from Maryland in 2019 to Ohio, to be near family who could assist in their elderly years.
