Dick was a smart, hard working, self made businessman. He was charming and always had an upbeat attitude not matter what. I recall many years ago, he had always hoped that his son would become interested in the wonderful company that he built and I know that he was proud when that came to fruition a few years ago.

Dick was an "old school" professional. When he shook your hand, it was as good as a written contract. I am very sorry to learn that he had such a tough time recently with his health. Dick was my friend for 25 years and I will never forget him.
