Dick was born in Akron, Ohio, on November 1, 1949, to Richard and Carol (Gentry) Zirkle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He was a graduate of Clarksville (Ind.) High School and Indiana University-Bloomington. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dick served his country with honor and distinction for more than 25 years, in the Indiana National Guard (38th Inf. Div.) &amp; in the U.S. Army Reserves, retiring as a Lt. Colonel in 1995.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dick has been co-owner of Benthall Bros, Inc., an exterior building products company, with Dennis M. Benthall for 49 years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dick was a member of Lodge No. 64, 32nd Deg., the Hadi Shrine &amp; a friend of Bill W. for 11 years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout his career, Dick served on multiple committees with numerous organizations in the Evansville area, including the Southwestern Indiana Homebuilders Assn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He was a loving and devoted father and husband and a tireless friend to many. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He consistently embodied selfless service to others and led by example, never asking of you what he, himself, would not be willing to do if he were able. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His family and friends will miss his counsel, wisdom, wit, and humility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He is survived by his wife of 25 years, Madonna Tremont Zirkle; son, Seth (Scarlett) Zirkle, of Newburgh, Indiana; granddaughters Amalia, Agatha, and Agnes; sister, Cindy (Michael, Sr.) Williams of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma; and nephews Brent (Jenny) Williams, of Chicago, Illinois, Jonathan (Kristi) Williams, of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, Michael (Sarah) Williams, Jr., of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, and Zachary Williams of Westminster, Colorado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dick was preceded in death by his parents and his beloved son, Sloane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visitation will be held from 2:00 p.m. to 7.00 p.m., Friday, December 3, 2021, at Ziemer Funeral Home East Chapel, 800 S.
