Dick was part of my childhood and my adulthood. He was one of my Dad's (Bill Lewis) best friends and their friendship started in the early sixties at the Executive Suite. They were "pals" and my brothers and I were lucky enough to be able to join their club. Dick was larger than life. He was like a Sinatra or Martin to us. A drink in one hand, a cigarette in the other and RGZ displayed on his shirt cuff. What a guy! We'll miss him!

Please accept my deepest sympathies. I will miss Dick and his wonderful stories. I will miss his phone calls from the Lamp Post room asking me what I was doing in the office, He was a large man with even a larger heart! his last visit to Ken's he shared with me that he had a fantastic life and that "Life owed him nothing" Thats a great thing to be able to feel at the end of your life. My thoughts are with all of you.
