Not sure what to say?

When I first met Dick in 1974 when he was the assistant Chief Engineer, under George Hillier. I was an Master Control Operator for WVEC for 11 years before moving on to KHOU in Houston in 1985. Dick was a mild man, but early on during my tenure at WVEC, one day he had just about enough of me and he set me straight. After that, we bonded! Every so often, I'm reminded of that encounter and it makes me humble. You see, if it were not for Dick, I would still have been there living life...

My Thoughts and Prayers are with you. Dick Hired me back in 1987, to this day I still think of him at the TV station. Appreciate all the Wonderful things he did for me. God Bless Jeffrey Holt

Dear Patty,

I am very sorry to hear of your fathers passing. He was a fine person.

I am so saddened to hear of Dick's passing. I was fortunate to have known him from WVEC and I'll always remember that loving and kind smile.

Dear Patty and Michelle,
I'm so very sorry to hear about Richard's passing. I have been out of town and wasn't here to get your message. I really appreciate your calling to let me know. If there is anything I can do for you'all, please call and let me know.
