Dick was born on July 22, 1946 to Edwin and Mavis Brown in Milo, ME. He later moved to Connecticut, where he served on the Plainville Fire Department for 30 years.
On February 13, 1982, he wed Jane Bennett, a marriage that celebrated its 40th Anniversary this year.
While Dick was not a native of these parts, he and Jane purchased their forever land in East Meredith. After many years of being weekend warriors, their permanent residence became upstate New York and they were officially Delco (Delaware County) Strong! Dick worked for many years in the parts department at Country Club Chevrolet in Oneonta, NY. Aside from work, he was an avid deer hunter and a friend who would give you the shirt off his back. His hugs were pretty amazing along with his titles of Poppy, Grandfather, Great Grandfather, Great- Great Grandfather and Friend.
Dick is survived by his wife Jane and numerous family members and friends.
