May God bless you and your...
I was a graduate student of Dick's in the 1980s and a professional colleague in the UMass president's office. He was a truly inspiring man who believed in the power of education. Dick shared his great spirit with tremendous generosity and I will always remember him. I am grateful to have known him. My prayers and sympathy are with your family.
