So sorry to hear of Dicks passing. Was friends of his two brothers and him for over 50 years.

Very sorry to hear that Dick has passed away. I have not had much contact with Dick since we graduated, together, from West Chester High School in 1960. We were good friends in school as we usually had the same home room. My blessings go to his family and your understanding that he was a great friend, student, and musician, as a young man in high school, are so correct.
