Not sure what to say?

Hardly seems so long since you left Dick. Looking forward to seeing you again someday when the RedTags meet again! Bob

Eight years after he died, I still remember his friendship, his energy, his smile, he intellect, his faith and his wisdom. He was a good friend since 1982. I'll never forget Dick.

Seven years gone now. Hard to believe and still missed. The RedTags will meet again, Dick, and then we'll see your smiling face again! Bob Felts

I remember Dick frequently, particularly on the day he died. He was a good friend, a kind soul, a brother in Christ and in the Air Force, a fellow singer, and a man who valued his community and gave back freely. I miss his friendship, but continue our connection with his family, particularly his lovely wife Karen. Someday we'll be singing songs to Jesus together.

Six years departed -- still missed. Bob

Our friendship began in Brussels at the US Mission to NATO in 1982. Dick was an Air Force colleague who greeted our family warmly. We remained friends until his death. I always admired and respected and loved him as a warm and loving family man, a really good leader and thinker. We who knew Dick are much richer because of that experience.

Our deepest sympathies . with fond memories of my classmate and his lovely family.

Dick was a classmate at the USAF Academy,and a good friend to have nearby. His "sports car" attitude seemed to reflect his willingness to do all that he could for his friends. A good man who will be missed indeed.

Dick was Class of 1962 RTB classmate at USAFA. We enjoyed time together serving as AOCs(TAC officers) in the early 1970s. We have fond memories of camping with Dick, Karen and all of our kids in CO. May God bless the Hodgkinson family. Jon & Carolyn Staples
