How well I remember Dick from our days at UNH in our small Civil Engineering Class of 15. Dick, Clyde Seaman, Karl Willett, Art Balomenos and I would study at the Notch between classes. After graduation we gathered on numerous occasions over the years to rehash those learning years. Dick, generously gave the new Engineering building it's lobby when it was built in the early 2000s. Time has taken our group one by one; Karl, Clyde, then Art about five years ago, and now Dick has joined the gang at the 'Notch in the Clouds'. I hope they save a seat for me and keep the coffee hot. What wonderful friends they are! Bill Veazey, Portsmouth, NH, Class of 1956, CE

We are thinking of you during this difficult time. Words can't express how saddened we are for you and the family.
May memories give you peace and comfort. We have wonderful ones of Dick and the farm. His restoration work
was amazing and we enjoyed the opportunity to see some of it first-hand.
With caring thoughts, Scott and Oma
