Dick was a wonderful classmate at Monmouth College. I know that all his friends and family will miss him very much.

Our deepest sympathies to the DeForest family. Many good times will be remembered when he lived on Barbara Lane.

My thoughts and prayers are with the whole family. I was priviledged to have called Dick my counterpart for many great years with Merck. I will miss him and his great laugh deeply.

Janet and John, I knew you two the most and offer my heart felt sorrow for your loss. I knew Dick way before I joined Merck and became his counterpart. He used to call on my dad and was always viewed as an exceptional salesman. I was fortunate to have the priviledge of calling him my counterpart. I will always cherish my fond memories of him and can still hear his awesome laugh. God keep you all strong.
