Jerald (Dick) McFall and I grew up together in the small community of Springer, NM. I was a year or two ahead of him in school. I will always remember his warm and friendly smile. RIP, Old Friend.....

I didn't get to spend as much time as I wanted to with him. I'm glad for the time that I did get to spend with him.

I met JD when I was 18 just starting on the railroad. I worked with him for more than 25 years and he taught me so much. It was a blast. Would loved to have had another beer with him and listen to the BS. He was great I'm so lucky to have met him Thanks
