Dick enjoyed farming, fishing, hunting, ping pong, tennis; really all sports. Spending time with his wife and their children (with families) was a great pleasure to him, especially during Thanksgiving where he would show off his barbecue and baking skills and Christmas when he decorated an elaborate tree.

Dick was preceded in death by his parents and three brothers. Survivors include his wife, Miriam; his daughters, Carol Goodrum (Jim), Karen Moore (Drew), Diana Adell (Mark); his son, Paul Burhart (Dawn); 11 grandchildren; 19 great-grandchildren; a brother-in-law, Coy Oakley; a sister-in-law, Ann Moore; and a host of nieces and nephews.
