Not sure what to say?

I worked with Dick Ortwein for over 15 years at the Koll Company. He was to me a mentor,leader and more important a friend. RIP my friend.

I had served aboard the USS INGERSOLL with Richard for two years, including during the 1965 WestPac deployment. We were each a Department Head, and I was always impressed with his planning and dedication to duty. My deepest Sympathies to Sheila and the family. Eugene McPhail USNA 1962
