Born Aug 27, 1959, Dickie was truly larger than life. He grew up in Savannah where he attended Savannah High School and played baseball; stories of his baseball days will live on forever. He married his wife, Lisa, on April 19, 1997. Together they raised five children and just welcomed their newest grandchild into the family. He taught his family to work hard and play hard. Memories of family vacations, spending days on the river, camping at the lake, driving country roads, and sitting with "Pa" listening to stories will forever be cherished and missed by his family. He was a Senior Manager at Gulfstream, spending 38 years with the company. Beloved by his superiors, co-workers and employees, his legacy will be remembered by many and his presence will be dearly missed by all. His love, compassion, generosity and larger than life stories will be passed on for generations to come.
