Had not heard of Dick's passing.. so sorry. I will never forget the first time that I had the opportunity to meet Dick. He was our HR VP and guest speaker at a DEC HR offsite being held in Shrewsbury (circa 1993). He shared with us his value of practicing the first assumption'; IE react to a situation or issue based on the assumption that the other person (teammate; customer; colleague) is trying to do the right thing with the information they have. Thanks Dick. I have never forgotten this and have shared it many times over the years. Rest in peace my friend.

Dear Kathy,
I was shocked with the news of Dick's sudden death. The details were provided by Frank and others at our favorite watering hole: The Silver Lounge.
Sadly. because of pastoral duties here I was unable to attend either the wake or the funeral. I will offer Mass for Dick tomorrow morning - the 18th.
Holler if I can ever be of any assistance!
My prayers extend to you and the family.
I shall sadly miss Dick.
