Dick could sell anything but he chose irrigation. Crops are getting irrigated throughout the Inland Empire from systems he designed. Golfers play on courses he sold, parks, schools and inummerable residences the systems keeping them green. He was a dynamo, he was a friend and as his boss he was impossible to manage and I loved him for that. He lives on through the work he did and the family he loved.
