Born April 25, 1948, he was the son of the late Carroll L. Lindsay and Mabel L. Lindsay. He was the loving husband to Lynn Lindsay, to whom he was married for 50 years.

Dick graduated from Francis Scott Key High School in 1966 and the University of Maryland in 1970 with a Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering.
