One more reason for me to be grateful to Dick is that he introduced me to contract time at Berkshire West and shared his time, talent and his friends for many years. Dick, enjoy tennis wherever you are!

To Dicks family and friends.....
Dick will always be fondly remembered for the contributions he made to AFE Chapter 143 - Association for Facilities Engineers. His dedication and guidance in forming this chapter are well known. A truly inspirational individual and friend.
He's just set his sails for another shore...till we meet again - God bless and God speed, may the winds be kind.
