Born in Louisville, Kentucky, on November 9, 1943, Dick was a graduate of Fairhope High School and the University of South Alabama in Mobile. When Dick was eight years old, his mother, Margaret Denton Pomeroy, died in a car accident. His father Ewing Pomeroy then married Nellie Gray.

After graduating from the University of South Alabama, Dick joined The Trane Company and enjoyed a wonderful 38-year career. Trane moved the family from Mobile, Alabama, to Newport News, Virginia, and then, in 1979, to Bradenton, Florida, where they made their home for the remainder of their lives.
Dick inherited the golf gene and loved the game. He was active at Bradenton Country Club, where he was known for his accomplishments as Club Putting Champion and Senior Champion, and he enjoyed many rounds with his golfing buddies.
