Recently learned of Dick's death. A fine man who taught me how to be a better door opener in sales. I will miss his humor and great way with people!

I worked at ADL for 31 years. In all tha time I never met a person that I liked better than Dick. He knew everyone and everyone knew him. He loved a good time. We all looked forward to have him come to our table in the cafe as he was so entertaining. He will surely be missed by all of us. God bless you Dick. Elaine Zaffino
