Robert William Fick was born February 18, 1941 to Robert Herman and Elsie Amelia (Eidahl) Fick at his parent's home in Dent, MN.

Following his retirement, they moved to West Loon Lake near Vergas where he became a member of St. Paul's Lutheran Church at Loon Lake, served as a church trustee and sang in the Praise Choir and quartet.
