Dick and I played Basketball & Baseball against each other in High School, and years later, worked together at American Airlines. Our friendship continued for some 60+ years with meetings for coffee and breakfasts, sometimes with mutual close friends. Our regular phone calls also gave us the chance to catch-up with our lives, and never failed to provide some great memories. I was very proud to be a friend of Dick's, and will truly miss him.
