Dear Fran, I was so sad and very sorry to hear of Dick's passing. My most sincere and heartfelt sympathies to you and your family. Dick was a great man. He gave me my first job when I was in high school. You both took me into your lives, taught me so much and made me feel like part of the family. I will be eternally grateful for all that Dick and his family did for me at a very young and difficult time in my life. R.I.P Dick. God Bless you and your Family Fran. Much Love , Giovanni Bendetta
