Richard Wayne Van Dyke was born in West Plains, Missouri, on December 13, 1925. He was raised in Danville, Illinois. At one time, he considered being a minister because of his mother’s religious influences, but a high school drama class would ignite in him a love of entertainment.

In his senior year, Van Dyke dropped out of Danville High and joined the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II. He served as a radio operator before being transferred to Special Services to entertain the troops.

Good thing he quit the chimney sweep job. Breathing in the soot from fireplaces probably would have done him in before now.

May he spend his remaining time in this life comfortably.

I have no clue what his politics are, and I like it that way!
