Born in Harlem, Montana, on March 14, 1940, to Julius Carl Green and Josephine Catherine Hellman (affectionately known as Juke and Josie), Dick was the second of six children. He cherished his upbringing alongside his four brothers and one sister.

After graduating high school, Dick served three years in the Army, embodying a spirit of dedication and service. Following his military service, he embarked on a fulfilling career in the grocery and restaurant industries, working in various roles until his retirement.

In 1983, Dick married Karen Burgess, and together they embraced a vibrant blended family of ten children. Their love story spanned over 41 years, filled with laughter and unwavering support for one another.

Dick had a passion for collecting antiques, including green depression glass, old clocks, coins, and National cash registers. He was an avid football fan and enjoyed engaging in political discussions. A lifelong newspaper reader, he found joy in staying informed about the world around him. Known for his great sense of humor, Dick brought smiles to the faces of family, friends, and even wait staff with his lighthearted jokes.

In 2006, Dick retired and relocated to Ogden with Karen, where they built a life rich in love and memories. He is preceded in death by his parents; his older brother Frank; his younger brother Robert (Bob); and his beloved daughter Sarah.
