A very versatile announcer and newsman. Everything from The Army Hour on NBC during WWII to KOMO TV’s “Cookbook Quiz.”
One of his daily broadcasts in the early 1960s was a noon newscast from KVI’s 8th floor studio at the downtown Bon Marche. (photo)
Howard Shuman, who co-anchored the Shell Deadline News on KOMO TV, told me that Dick would deliver an on-camera Shell commercial midway through the newscast, and often arrived at the studio minutes before the break, and sometimes “over sported”, but he’d adjust his necktie, step before the camera and deliver the spot flawlessly.
He also owned a Midas Muffler shop on Aurora, at one time.
