I watched Dick play many basketball games at Peterson Gym while attending San Diego State. My wife, daughter and I met him in the mid-sixties and have been friends ever since. We were extremely sorry to hear about his passing. My wife, Faith, knew him slightly at Hoover. At the bi-monthly Hoover Class of 1944 meetings someone is always asking how Dick is doing. We share your family's great loss.

Goodbye Richard from your buddies at Muni.

Good friend!
