Dear Dolores and Family,
You have lost one of the best persons I have ever known. I have known Dick since the merger of Meridian and CoreStates Banks, and he was a great friend, mentor, and an all round classy guy. I was deeply saddened to hear that he has passed. Dick always had a way to brighten your day, or show you the bright side of less than great situations. He was often in my thoughts even though I am half a country away. Take comfort in knowing that he was a great person and that he always spoke with love about you and your family. He will be terribly missed, and always remembered fondly. With Deepest Sympathy,

Dolores: We send our deepest sympathy and condolences on Dick's passing. It was such a shock to us. He will be missed very much. We just saw him at the last Lion's Club meeting where he gave such a wonderful prayer. Also the time we spent with the two of you at last year's Holiday Party at Chef Alan's.

Long before we're ready, we sadly say goodbye. But there are those in a far more beautiful place saying "welcome home".
We love you Dick and have missed you so much already this week. God blessed you with a long life, an always happy personality, a great sense of humor every day of your life, a tremendous work ethic, loyalty, integrity and you were a great friend. We are richer for having known you. Pax vobiscum, my friend XOXOXO
