Dick, may you rest in peace my friend. We had some good times in the past at the Firestone Country Club in Ohio. I believe that you were the better golfer but nevertheless have no golf strokes. I recall when you coerced me to join you in drinking tequila shots. I recall that I kept refusing but you were not having any of it. Good times and great camaraderie. You will be missed. Go Lions!
