I was so sad to hear of the passing of Dick who I worked closely with for many years at Rokies Bar & Grill. He was a great friend to helped me and my family out many many times. when My daughter mary was diagnoised with a cronic blood disease he did so much to raise money to help with the expenses of her medical treatments and even spent time to cradle her in the hospital while she was so sick. His friendship meant so much to us and he will be greatly missed.
