Dickie was an electrician by trade, and he taught electrical systems technology at Wake Technical Community College where he was the head of that department. He was a mentor to all his students. “Giving is often a family affair. Electrical/electronic technology student Richard Moore, son of instructor Richard Moore, says his father taught the importance of giving. They volunteer their skills to the N.C. Rural Community Assistance Program, providing wiring for impoverished, often elderly people in rural communities.” – Wake Technical Community College Newsletter.

Dickie loved to deer hunt, camp, read, and sew leather packs. He loved his farm “Secluded Acres” and loved that his friends and family could gather to hunt and fish and enjoy the land. He was a member of Tyson’s Creek Baptist Church and the Men’s Sunday school class. He previously served as an Elder of New Haven Baptist Church and as an usher at Salem Baptist Church.
