US Air Force Veteran. Retired aerospace engineer from NASA. Father of Scott Quentmeyer, and Cheryl (Kirk) Kapusta; grandfather of Katelyn and Andrew; ex-husband and friend of Carolyn Quentmeyer; brother of Roy Quentmeyer and Karen Christensen.
Dick's middle name was Junior. His mother said that his father named him and couldn't think of another name after Richard. Supposedly, he was named after his grandfather, August Carl Quentmeyer and not his dad's brother Richard. It seems that August Carl was known to everyone in Columbus, Wisconsin as "Dick" Quentmeyer. He remembers that whenever he talked to the "old timers" in Columbus, they always referred to his grandfather as Dick. How that came about, he had no idea.
