Read MoreI worked for Dick McGuire at NPD for 3 years in the 70's. The Chief was a wonderful man and very professional. He had everything under control at all times and was very cheerful while doing so.
I have always been grateful for the experience of working and learning from such a disciplined and kind man.

I grew up "down the hill" from the McGuire´s, and was at their home often. Chief McGuire was a great influence in my life and in choosing my career path. Rest in peace Sir.
