Some say Dick was the best all-around football player of that era. In baseball, he was the starting catcher who caught professional baseball pitcher and fellow hall-of-famer Ron Ebner for 4 years. In track and field, Dick threw the shot and discus and was a successful hurdler, jumping hurdles that he helped make in shop class. Dick was a founding member of the Malvern Athletic Hall of Fame, served on the selection committee, and led the fundraising back in 2012. He is the father of Richard and Natalie.
