Dickie worked in the asphalt and paving industry for over 45 years. His wisdom to the business has been passed along to many over the years, especially his sons Josh and Aaron. He not only enjoyed paving roads, Dickie loved to tells stories of his teenage back road racing days with his children and grandchildren. His quick wit and humor allowed Dickie to enjoy spending time with his family in the backyard of his home where he is well remembered for his goldfish pond that his grandchildren, nieces, nephews and friends would often admire.
