'Dick' was a nickname not an abbreviation of Richard. When he was first married he was known as 'Territory Tick' but somehow this evolved into Dick. His father and his elder brother were both called Richard and now his grandchild is Richard too - continuing a nice bit of family tradition.
Died in Gympie Hospital, Queensland
