Wendy, Everett and Family,

It is with deepest regret that I acknowledge the passing of your father. Dick was an amazing talent and made a tremendous contribution to the tourism industry through his high-quality, emotion-evoking photographs of our beautiful region. The love he had for his work was felt by all that worked with him. I will think of him fondly every time I reflect on one of his images. May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
