He was the second son of Edna Eileen Smith Dick and Arthur Robert Dick. As a boy he learned to work hard helping his dad on a dairy farm. He also worked as a fry cook in his mom's cafe. Free time was spent fishing using a willow for a pole, a string for a line, and a safety pin for a hook, with a worm on the end. As the years rolled on the fishing equipment improved but the results were always the same; lots of fish. Dancing was a passion for Bill as a teenage boy. He won many dance contests. He also loved to dance on roller skates. The girls all loved to dance with Bill. One girl that caught his eye was Beth Marie Rhoades. They dated and married on November 24th, 1948. Bill worked in construction and was a switchman for the railroad. He owned his own dry wall company in Idaho Falls, Dick's Dry Wall. He was director of the A.R.A. House (Addiction Rehabilitation Association) and retired from Bonneville County as a sheriff. He was a member of AA for 44 years, 9 months, and valued his friendships and fellowships in the program, and he was a dedicated member who touched many lives in his service in the program. He was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Bill is survived by his loving wife Beth; his sons Steve (Raylene)of Idaho Falls; Kelly (Jean) of Orem, Utah; Jon (Lori) of Idaho Falls; 9 grandchildren; and 21 great-grandchildren.
