While most blamed wife Debbie, more often than not, it was Dick that was decorating for Christmas before Halloween. He was a handyman, tell it like it is mentality, with a no filter jokester personality. He loved watching football and golf and working the newspaper crosswords with Deb. He was a sucker for Chick-fil-A vanilla milkshakes. Dick went by many names but two of the main nicknames were “Big Dick” and “Dickster”.
