Dick Swick was a wonderful person, coworker, and friend. I remember how welcoming and friendly he was when my mom Kalawati came to visit from India. Though they spoke different languages he still conveyed so much love and kindness when he visited with her. She will greet you in heaven with praying hands. We will miss you.
