Dick was born March 26, 1926, and grew up in Hopewell, N.J. He graduated from Princeton High School and earned his bachelor’s degree in history and American civilization at Princeton.

In 1956, he married Dorothy Smith. They had five children and eventually 10 grandchildren. First as a draftee and then an Army officer from 1951 to 1956, Dick spent his longest military service at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland. Then after a year at the University of Michigan Law School, he became an insurance underwriter.

Dick later worked as an investment adviser and account officer in Philadelphia, St. Louis, and Detroit with E.F. Hutton, Peoples Bank, and Security Bancorp. He became an investment counselor at Manufacturers National in Detroit, and beginning in 1979, a senior portfolio manager at Ameritrust Texas and Texas Commerce Trust in Houston.

Dick participated intensively in numerous professional, community, church, and Princeton-alumni organizations. For our 25th-year reunion book he wrote: “I believe in a drastic change in occupation and lifestyle in middle age or later. … The bedrock of Princeton’s broad liberal-arts education instilled in me critical analysis and an interest in many matters. … [Princeton] chapel service, in some small way, rubbed off on me in my painstakingly slow process to Christianity.”

Dick died Oct. 6, 2013, in Kingwood, Texas, at age 87.
