Not sure what to say?

I was a class mate of Dick's i have not saw him sense our 5 year class reunion he was a
well liked person and he will be missed.

I first met Dick at Territorial Hall at the University Territorial Hall on the campus of the University of Minnesota in the fall of 1968. I was an Army veteran returning to college on the G.I. bill, and Dick was my neighbor, and friend. The last time I saw Dick in person was in the summer of 1969 prior to his 1st season with the Falcons. I never viewed my college friend as just a "football player", but rather as simply a good man. Deepsest condolences to his loved ones and family. He...

Condolances to Valda and all of Richard`s family.
Dick was a giant of a man, matched only by his character, humility, and his easy going nature.
Dirty`s teammates met with him every year when he came home for the past 30 years.
Everyone respected him but some of us even wanted to be like him.
We love you Dirty !!

I went to HS (Elbow Lake High School) with Dick. Wow, were we proud of him in our little home town.
He was one year ahead of me but I took a couple classes with him and he was such a nice guy....I can't imagine anyone not thinking that. It is so sad for all of us. I've talked to many classmates since hearing of his passing. I introduced him to my son many years ago when Dick was playing for the Giants and my son wouldn't wash his hand for days.
He will always be our very special...
