Not sure what to say?

Jethro Patie and family. I have many fond memories of Dick like the times we worked in Boston.

Dick was an amazing man. I used to ride the bus with him into Boston when he worked at the Boston law firm which was called Hale and Dorr at that time. He was kind and full of fun. I will always remember those years. May Dick Rest in Peace.

Patie, Jethro, Julia and Toby - I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your husband/father. Dick was an amazingly intelligent man with an equally amazing dry sense of humor which he frequently expressed. He was the very epitome of what a good husband/father should be. The World is a little less bright a place without Dick Berkman in it. He will be greatly missed, not only by you but by all of us in his extended family!

Patie, Jethro, Julia, and Toby. I am so sorry about Dick. He was an amazing guy. I remember riding the bus with him from Newton to Boston. We use to work at the same law firm called Wilmerhale. I will always remember him for his friendship and sense of humor. I will miss him. May he rest in peace.
