Dick was an avid lawn bowler here in Sun City, as was Teal. We certainly enjoyed their company for bowling and pinochle. He is already missed and we will think of him every time we pick up a book. Sympathy to all his family.

I knew Richard as a member of the Desert Springs Community where he lived for a short time. During that time, though, he made such a positive impact on all who had the good fortune to make his acquaintance. His upbeat, "can do" spirit, winning smile, intelligence, and friendliness were some of the things that I admired so very much. I was lucky to have met him.

I extend my heartfelt sympathy to his family ~ Robin Schultz, Activities Coordinator at Desert Springs
