About

Dick Cayer - Music/Choir Director

Dick began playing the piano at the age of 5 and began lessons at age 7. By the time Dick finished Junior High School, he had memorized the entire Methodist hymnal. His love of music led him into a variety of  musical opportunities throughout his youth. He played for the Green Bay Recreation Department for kids' dance lessons at age 14. At 16, he became the organist at Zion Lutheran Church and was also Choir Director for Suamico Methodist Church.  

When he was 18, he became the organist for PCC and was the first organist in the new church building. He remembers the symbolic “burning of the mortgage” just after the first year of the construction of the beautiful building designed in the style of Massachusetts architecture. At that time, choir practice was held at the home of Cliff Wall, Sr. Dick was very proud to be a part of the church and its rich history. When it was time for him to leave for college in Madison, the church presented him with a check to cover his first semester’s tuition.

In 2002, Pastor Gary Pierce approached Dick about returning as organist of PCC and he accepted. Although he has been the pianist/organist in many places throughout his lifetime, PCC is his favorite!
