Not sure what to say?

Had the good fortune to serve as a student assistant for coach during his last year at PSU. He was always willing to help out younger coaches even years after they had worked for him, in any way that he could. Sympathy to his family members. RIP Coach

Fond memories of the years at Songadeewin of Keewaydin. Dick's dining room table was always the most fun. He was great leader on many canoe trips teaching us how to survive in the wild. He was a fierce competitor during camper/staff field hockey games each year. He always gave us a thrill while driving the speed boat for our water skiing pleasure on Lake Willoughby. Finally, he was a most authentic Indian during our camp rituals, especially at the cove. Thanks for all those great years...
