I was saddened to hear the news of Dick's passing. He was a good friend of my parents for many years (Richard and Mary Harrington of Franklinville). We always went back and forth about our football teams - he liked the Dolphins and I like the Bills. It was all in good fun and I will miss him.

I hadn't seen Dick for many years but remember him fondly from when I was a kid. He was always very good to me and I appreciate his presence in my life.

I was sorry to hear of the passing of a friend of many years. Dick and I went to Harding School together. I last seen him at our Class of '48 reunion in 2002. He will be missed by all.

Dear Chris and Carol and family, We are so very sorry for your loss. Dick was such a good friend to us all, and especially to Dad. He will definately be missed. My Mom will miss his visits. But I'll bet Dad and Dick are playing a good game of gin! And I'll bet Grandpa and Johnny were glad to see him too! We all have our wonderful memories!
