Richard Warner Carlson

So saddened to learn of Dick's passing. He grew up here in Norwood, Massachusetts, on Vernon Street, and would often visit his Aunt Vi, who lived next door to us. During my Washington days, I worked at a major law firm where Senator Fulbright was partner. We would have lunch in the firm's cafeteria where we would converse about American Foreign Policy and learned of the Swanson connection. I also knew Dick was CEO of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and so, I had the wonderful...

A gentleman.

May God give you strength and comfort during this difficult time. Sending condolences to his family and friends. He will be greatly missed and lovingly remembered. May he rest in peace with God by his side.

We are sorry to hear of Richard´s death-we are renters in Dunes Chalet at Boca Grande Club and observed Tucker´s devotion to his Father; God Bless the family

Tucker, I´m sorry for your lose. In reading your father´s story I know why I enjoyed you so much. I watch you whenever I see you on TV which isn´t much. My prayers are with you and your family, Now your dad is where we all strive to be, in peace with God.

Dick Carlson and his wife donated an afternoon to an Adoptee Search group in San Diego when I asked him to share his childhood experience.

He was an earnest warm big presence who...

Dear Carlson Family We are so very sorry to hear of the passing of your beloved father, father-in-law, and grandfather. We have been neighbors in DC since early 2020. Both Mr. and Mrs. Carlson were such lovely people. On a nice day, Mr. Carlson enjoyed reading a book in the courtyard, and he always greeted us with a smile. My daughter loved to trick-or-treat at their door, as Mrs. Carlson would answer with a bowl full of candy, followed by Mr. Carlson behind her, then Lucy and Ethel, always...

Sad irony... I went online at work to purchase his book "Don't sweat the small stuff @ work..." for my staff ( I have all his other books in the series) and I find his obituary.... He will always be inspirational to me, as he has been for the past 25 years!

Tucker, when i read your father´s obituary in the Washington Post, I was so incredibly touched on so many levels, i cried and then, i posted it on facebook with the following words written by me to honor this amazing man who was your father. I am Jewish. Thus, you will notice i end with words that in Hebrew would read BARUCH DAYAN E´MET and in english are as i wrote: "May his memory be as a blessing" which i now ask, "how could it not be?" this is for you, your brother and your...
