Dick was born on February 1, 1938, in Portland, Indiana, to the late Clark H. and Gertrude I. (Huffman) Godwin. On July 1, 1977, he married Mary Jane (Kinzer) Godwin, who survives at their home in Mendon. He was preceded in death by his first wife, Betty (Clay) Godwin, on August 16, 1963, and by their son, Mike Godwin.

Dick retired from Huffy Bicycle Company in Celina after 48 years of dedicated service, where he helped design and build prototype bicycles. He was a proud member of the Celina Moose Lodge and greatly enjoyed bowling with his wife Mary. Dick and Mary loved traveling together in their RV, and he especially enjoyed fishing, tinkering around the house, working with metal, and fixing or building just about anything he could get his hands on.
