Richard F. Emmett

Dick was a great guy to sail with. His leadership skills contributed greatly to help train Midshipmen to be naval officers through his contribution as a sailing coach at the Naval Academy. Dick and I sailed together in one of the Annapolis Bermuda races some years ago . Yes, we "hot bunked" it together to Bermuda A great memory sailing with Dick.

Dear Phyllis, We are so sorry for your loss. our thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time. Take care. Hugs, Abbie and Brian

Phyllis, I am so sorry to hear of Dick's passing. We worked as seasonal together for many years.

I meet Dick at NASS, coaching the midshipmen. I came back on a Navy boat from Bermuda with him as Coach, myself training + midshipman. He became a friend since. He was my taxman also. He also helped write a notebook for the Coaches at NASS. Dick loved teaching about sailing, lots of patience.

Gosh! I´m so so saddened by this loss!! I started working with Dick a few years ago. He was such a strong and sweet man! We cultivated an amazing relationship over the last few years! He was always so respectful to me and did everything I asked of him! He was strong as an ox! I loved listening to his stories of his childhood in Saugus and his career in the Navy. He was a proud Naval Academy graduate of the class of 1957. I will cherish the time I spent with him. To Phyllis, Sara and...
