Richard Elmer Shirbroun was born in Coon Rapids, Iowa 22 October 1929 to hard-working and loving parents, Clara M. Bell and Francis C. Shirbroun. He shared life with his sister, Genevieve Lee. After school in Coon Rapids, Dick enrolled at Iowa State College, graduating with his degree in Veterinary Medicine in 1952. While in college, he married Treva Teter. Together, they raised three children – Randy, Camille and Jim. Dick was a proud serving member of the United States Air Force and was stationed at Elmendorf Air Force Base in Anchorage, Alaska. Following service, he returned to Coon Rapids to establish his veterinary practice.
