I just learned of his passing and am sorry for your loss. Many of my memories of him are from my youth. He was always very kind to me and was an easy person to like. I remember admiring him then.

Dear Betsy, We played bridge with Dick at Saticoy Country Club. We enjoyed his sense of humor and his jokes. What a great guy! His bidding wasn't the greatest, but then he would bid 6 or 7 of a suit and make it! Amazing. He was an original thinker! You were lucky to have found each other. He was a true gem.
