He worked for Lands & Forest in Dorset, Ontario where he filmed several NFB shorts and subsequently built the family cottage on Raven Lake in the 50’s. He then joined Kodak Canada for the rest of his 30-plus working career. Dick’s passion for birds extended to flying gliders at SOSA where he achieved his FAI Diamond badge for a 500 km flight.

As per Dick’s wishes, no memorial service will be held.
