I am sorry to learn of Dick's passing. He and I worked on the Law Library Journal for ten years, and his wife Cheryl and I had our second children within a month of each other in 1985. Dick was not only smart, organized, and insightful, he was kind and had a quiet, sly sense of humor. May he rest in peace.

Dick was an incredible mentor and leader. His wisdom and kindness belie a man who was human to his core! Our monthly lunches were exceptional because he was exceptional. Dick's commitment to diversity can be seen in his staff! I miss him and will forever! I hope he is at peace and writing in heaven!

Dick was a brilliant man with innovative ideas and a wonderful sense of humor. He will be missed by many library colleagues. I learned a lot from him while we were both directors at Duke.

In addition to the accomplishments mentioned in this wonderful tribute, Dick was a principled leader and mentor to many young professionals. I was privileged to work with him early in both of our careers and will always remember the sense of community he fostered at DULL. My deepest condolences to Cheryl, Zach, and Kat. Fondly, Katherine

He was always a good friendly person and we'll respected professional. I remember when I was young in the profession and interviewed I presented on the topic of the West Key number system and was advocating for the value of it. Unfortunately I had learned the night before that presentation he was writing an article critiquing it negatively. It didn't help my stress level at all! He was very generous and kind, both the next day and whenever I met him at local events or at national...
