He was the proud owner of Sintobin Electric for over 45 years, where he was known for being very meticulous, always making sure that every screw was facing vertical.

Before owning the electrical company, Dick was employed with Producer’s livestock in Delta. He was a member of the Fulton Union Church.
In his spare time Dick could be seen at his cottage on Wampler’s Lake spending time with his family and friends while fishing, boating, hiking.
Dick loved walking through the woods as it was a special place for him to feel a sense of peace and connection to God. Another one of his favorite destinations was Five Mile Lake in Canada.
He and Penny also enjoyed visiting Amish Country and taking in the activities and scenery. He tried to never miss a child and grandchild’s sporting event and also served as a 4-H advisor in Fulton County for over 20 years.
