Dick was a great guy and I am so sorry for his loss. I worked with Dick at A Duie Pyle for a few years before his retirement. He was truly a nice and very humble human being. My thoughts go out to his family.

Dick was a great guy. I can still hear him laugh when we would have our monthly update calls between the two of us. I know he loved his family as he spoke of them as well as I did mine. I have missed those calls. Bless all of the people he know and loved! Roger Malzacher & Baldwin Filters
