He was born in Oneida, NY the son of the late Carl and Angeline Graziano MacBain.  Dick was an Air Force Veteran serving his country from 1961-1965.He worked for Crouse-Hinds in Syracuse for over two decades.He was the most kind hearted, gentle jovial person you'd ever want to meet.He was the only person I know that could go into a spontaneous overzealous laughing fit for minutes over seemingly nothing. A passionate dancer as he could feel the music and was not afraid to cut a rug.  He was  a big  baseball and SUPER SU  Orange fan. You could find him at his favorite watering hole 2cnd NDeli for all the games. He had a deep love for old cars and car mags. Dick also had rebel spirit that could be defiant in the face of the law during his many traffic stops due to his lead foot and lack of understanding of a stop sign. Dick cherished his freedman independence and truly lived life his way. He will be missed by anyone who knew him. Private burial will be held at the Veterans cemetery, Syracuse,NY
