I knew Dick in many guises: committed scientist, dedicated teacher, supportive colleague, and persistent promoter of what he thought was best for Einstein. We should all aspire to match his example.

I've know Dick since the early 1960s when we both began to study the action of vasopressin. Over the years I've seen him excel as a scientist and real mensch. My condolences to his family and close friends.
