Was saddened to read of Dick's passing. I worked with him when I was a teenager over 50 years ago. He was a machine operator at St. Regis and I was his helper/trainee. We went fishing together up to Fletchers Lake in Michigan a few times. My condolences to his family.

Joyce and I want to express our greatest sympathy to Marilou, the children and other members of Dick's family. I enjoyed the opportunity of working with and for Dick at St. Regis. He worked very hard and was motivated to keep the Toledo plant viable and running - both as a businessman and one who felt an obligation to the people with whom he had worked for years. Take care, Buddy. You will be missed.
