Roma and I offer our condolences to Joan and family, and we express our gratitude for their providing the video link to Dick's memorial service. Viewing it brought back many memories of time spent with Dick and other friends in Chicopee Falls during our high school and college days. We take solace in the shared stories of happiness Dick brought to so many.

Dear Joan, Jim and Kris,
Our hearts and prayers are with you at this time of sadness and loss. Eric and I have great memories of your family as Springfield neighbors and friends. After babysitting, Dick gave me a job at the nursing home which paid for college, and directed my future professional course. Thank you very much.
