Richard Charles Plough

I just heard about Dick passing tonight while having dinner with old friends Mike and Ralph Campitelli.

just heard last week of Dick's passing, my condolences to Karen and family. Haven't talked to Dick since they moved back to Michigan years ago but can still hear him laughing. Good family man, good friend and good ball player, will always remember you, your friend Mats

So happy to have shared time with Dick and family in Santa Barbara as the little cousin....thank you for the laughter, smiles and just a good full life of great attitude...lots to look up to
