I was the first female 99 at TOD and Dick was quick to support and mentor me. He was always "fine as frog fur" and was a pleasure to work with. My husband and I will always treasure our memories of Dick. Our deepest sympathy to the Lema family.

I'll always remember Dick Lema. I knew him since 1962. Dick was always looked up to by everyone in the lab. He will be missed by all his friends at the McClellan Central Laboratory.
