He married Marilyn Costanzo on December 31, 2002, and moved from Annandale, Virginia to St Augustine in 2003. Dickie joined the United States Navy in 1942 at the age of 17 serving in both World War II and Korea. He was sent to Quartermaster School and achieved the rank of QM3C.

He served the Department of the Navy as a Staff Advisor to the Assistant Secretary of the Navy beginning in 1958.

Upon completing his role with that office he became the Deputy Assistant Director for the Office of Economic Opportunity’s “War on Poverty” program from 1966-1970. He concluded his career serving the public for 13 years as the Vice President and General Manager at the Institute for Defense Analysis (IDA).
