at Special Olympics

Dick is retired from Kraft Food Services and has been coming to the Fowler Y for 5 years.  When Dick first came, he was to continue with a physical therapy program that had been set up for him. Little did he know (or the Y) that a wonderful relationship would develop. He soon became the resident handy man and but has not forgotten about his workouts! Some of Dick's improvements are the exerball racks in the weight room, the coat rack, as well as the stands to hold the headsets.

As if his life isn't full enough, on Wednesdays you can find Dick in the pool helping with Adaptive Aquatics!

Dick has been married to his wife Gail for 47 years, has 3 children and 6 grandchildren. In his spare time Dick likes to do woodworking, masonry and electrical. Ask Dick about his home shop and his projects! Thank you Dick for all you do at the Y!
