Richard E. Flamer

We knew Sergeant Flamer very well at Fairchild AFB, WA from 1968-72.

You just wanted to be around him. Mrs. Flamer just stood at his side and let him do his thang(thing). Doc was in his element with the student. I immediately knew I had a valued friend in Dr. Flamer.

Every time I created a problem for myself with my procrastination, Doc stepped in. When I...

We have just returned from Pennsylvania where we had laid to rest our last parent during the past weekend and learned to our sorrow that Dick had departed during our absence.
