To Donna & Family,
I consider myself a very lucky man to have known Dick for over 18 years when I first worked him at Aseco. We continued to stay in touch along with other guys to form a group of golfers that ventured down the Cape for a weekend the past 18+ years. Dick was a kind hearted individual that always brought the best out in other people. His quick wit, humor and sometimes his golf made the weekends more enjoyable (especially when you are having a bad outing) which kept the guys coming back year after year. He will be sadly missed but not forgotten anytime soon. I will make it a point to stop by the Cape Cod Irish Village in his honor as I had done so many times in his company to honor his late father and pay tribute this a wonderful man that left us too soon. My heart felt sympathies go out to you and your family! Rest in Peace my friend.
Always remember to forget
the things that made you sad.
But never forget to remember
the things that made you glad.

To Donna, Jess, Connor, and family,
My thoughts and prayers go out to you all during this time. Although I didn't know Dick that well, I always remembered him as the kind, helpful, and friendly face that was very welcoming to people. My daughter Abby remembers him for the guy that made the best pulled pork sandwiches over Cathy and Kenny's house on Mother's Day, and I thought that was pretty cool and special and something that would put a smile on people's faces!

Rest in peace.
