Dick started at Disney as an inbetweener in June of 1953, a year before this sketch of him by John Sparey. By 1966 he was working for Pantomime and Format, left the business for a few years, and ended up at Filmation starting in 1971. He got kicked up to animator in 1984, where he stayed until his retirement after the studio shut its doors in 1989.
