Friends and Family of Dick. I worked with Dick and Karen since 1975. Many good times shared with them, especially in the early years when we were all Clerks. Dick and I always called each other Cuz, since we shared Uncle Leo Despain as Uncle. I am Aunt Maude's nephew from the King side. Dick was a fine and respected man in the railroad business. Rest in Peace Dick and give Karen my love. Mike Simmons
