Born in Maytown, he was the son of the late Harry B. and Mary (McCurdy) Earhart. He was the husband of Joan S. (Brosey) Earhart for 39 years on December 19.

In his retirement, he was employed as a bus driver by Milton S. Hershey School and by Wenger Feeds where he worked in the parts department.

Dick served his local and international community through membership in the Lions Club of Elizabethtown and the Rotary Clubs of Elizabethtown and Donegal. In addition to volunteering his time at the Veterans Medical Center in Lebanon, he enjoyed working with wood and stained glass.
