I am so sorry for your loss of Dick. He has been in my life for almost 30 years as a boss and a friend. We had so much fun at work together pulling pranks on each other. He has also shared holiday meals with me and my family. He will be missed. If you need anything please reach out to me. I´ll definitely see you at his celebration of life.

My sincerest condolences to Dick´s family and friends. I became acquainted with "Captain Dick" in 2014 when I was the Lions District Governor and saw him at many Lions functions over the years. We spoke about Mystic Seaport and Mystic [my hometown] and his love for the area! Lion Dick was a true gentleman and a very devoted member of the Bolton Lions. He will be sorely missed.
