Three years later, it is still hard to believe Dick is gone. Dave (Bloss) and I have been away so much that we kidded ourselves life here went on just as before, and Dick was still causing commotions in East Greenwich. We used to drive by his house every time we were in the neighborhood in hopes we could drop in to see him and maybe grab breakfast at Jiggers (he was always up for it!) I'm sure nice people live in his house now but I don't want to see it, I just can't imagine it without him....

To the Lee family,my sincere sympathies and condolences. As a former coach and athletic director, at Central Falls High School I always looked forward to speaking with your Dad during and following a game. He always had a great outlook on the day's events and a great line to sum up the activity of the day. He will be missed by one and all.

Seeing Dick and my mom together was such a treat. He made a difference in our family. I wish we had lived closer to you all so that we could've gotten to know each other better. I enjoy thinking of them continuing their friendship beyond here. And I do hope there's many arias for them to hear together.
