Meet Larry Dick

The son of a construction worker, Larry D. Dick understood at an early age the value of sacrifice and hard work. Whether you look at his service as a Medic in the Army, his election to the Municipal Water District of Orange County Board of Directors, or his recognition as the Small Business Owner of the Year, it is clear Larry Dick held those values throughout his life. Seeking an opportunity to provide opportunity for his young family, Larry's migration from the Midwest to Southern California typifies the kind of dedication to our community that has made it the great place it is today.

Although he has a great deal to be proud of, Larry's Midwestern humility knows that his 31 years of marriage to his wife Sally and their two children, Jane and David remain his greatest achievement.
