Dick married Arlene Tuntland on Dec. 16, 1950.
He farmed south of Canton with his wife, of 60 years, and his son Gregg. Dick was a member of Romsdal Lutheran Church and served his church in many capacities. He worked breifly for the Clark County Soil conservation District, and served on the Lincoln County Soil Conservation District for many years. He served on the State Conservation Commission and was a Lincoln County Commissioner. He was a member of the Sons of Norway and enjoyed collecting cars and tractors. He was very fond of his furry four legged friends. He was preceded in death by his wife, Arlene; parents; brothers, Orvin and Eldon; sister-in-law, Henrietta; and a great nephew. Grateful for having shared his life are his son, Gregg, Beresford; daughter Gail Fossum-Shea (Craig), Sioux Falls; sisters-in-law, Evelyn Fossum, Canton and Betty Boldt (Burleigh) Sioux Falls; nieces, Luella (Perry) Schneller, Forest Lake, Mn, Eunice (Randy) Amundson, Sioux Falls, Pam (Dave) Gillespie, Hudson, and Dr. Faye Fossum, Canton; and several great nieces.
