Richard Sproul

Richard Sproul served in the U.S. Navy from 1968 to 1973. A resident of Yarmouth, Maine, he was one of the first veterans to volunteer in the Vet to Vet program. As a Vet to Vet volunteer, he visited a World War II veteran for almost five years, a routine he says brought him as much satisfaction and enjoyment as it did the veteran he befriended. He and his veteran friend speak eloquently about their relationship in a moving video portraying Vet to Vet Maine and the difference the program has made in the lives of veterans. Dick also served on Southern Maine Agency on Aging’s Vet to Vet Shared Leadership Team, was an incorporator and served on Vet to Vet Maine’s first Board of Directors. He has been a Realtor for many years. Originally from South Easton, Massachusetts, Dick attended Kents Hill School and holds a degree in psychology from the University of Southern Maine. His support, his financial contributions, and his volunteer work on behalf of Vet to Vet Maine have been instrumental in the success of the organization. He was named Director Emeritus in 2019.
