When Dick was just 18 months old, his mother passed away and he was raised by his aunt and uncle, Mildred and Elmer Kittelson. He was baptized on May 18, 1930, at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in Montevideo and later confirmed in his faith at Bergen Lutheran Church on August 20, 1944. He attended school in Montevideo and graduated in 1948. On May 27, 1951, Dick married Idell Anderson at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church. Together they were blessed with three children, Diane, Becky and David. One of the many values Dick passed on to his family was to “work hard, play hard” together. In the first 10 years of marriage, Dick had many varied jobs until he reached his goal of farming on his own. As all farmers, he worked hard and long, but loved farming. He worked side by side with Idell in their farming operation in rural Montevideo and involved the entire family from a young age. He was a self-taught, but accomplished welder. He had a natural talent to fix anything, and his friends and family all reaped the benefit. He became an unpaid spokesperson for “Shoe Goo” and swore there wasn’t anything Shoe Goo couldn’t fix! After the work was done, Dick led by example in showing his kids the importance of playing together both with friends and family. He and Idell enjoyed camping, fishing, dancing and playing cards. Dick waterskied into his 70s. The annual fishing trip north was a yearly highlight. Dick was blamed for being the founder of “Eid Rules” for buck euchre. During retirem
