I have known Dick from the day he moved into Willow Crossings in Mansfield. I think that we instantly connected and he always liked me the way I liked him. We got along very well and no matter what, he always remembered me by name.

He was a really great guy and I can still hear his laugh in my head.
My sympathy to your family. He will be missed very much.
