Not sure what to say?

Dick, You were one of a kind. You saw me through my high school years and no matter how much time passed, you always remembered me and were there for me. I am glad that you met my wife. Words could never hope to express how much I love you and am grateful to you. No one will ever know what I would not do to have had one last chance to speak to you. I am grateful To Almighty God every day for the genuine honor, pleasure, and privilege to have known you. Rest in Peace. You will always be The...

My parents listened to Dick on KBW in Buffalo, New York, so I naturally have spent the last 30 years listening to him courtesy of his Cruisin' 1960 album. Thank you for the great music memories, Dick.
