Read MoreI'm glad that I had the opportunity to meet Mr. Florence. He was such a gentleman, and Mrs. Florence is wonderful, and gave Mr. Florence such wonderful care. He is in a good place (probably smiling at you), but I
know you have broken hearts. If there is anything I can do to be supportive, please let me know.

I was a grad student at UVa when I met Dick in 1968 through the amateur radio club. He was then president. I was at the farm many times, and maintained a warm friendship with him until departure from Charlottesville in 1972. He was kind and generous in all of our relationships. The image in my mind is of him in 1972 -- perhaps that's a good thing
