We always looked forward to a gathering with Dick and Ginny. Dick's recollection of fishing adventures, coal mining episodes, as well as stories from growing up and retiring to NE PA confirmed his ability to enjoy life!

Our thoughts are with Ginny and the family. We will miss seeing Dick row down the lake in his "hemlock Barque". He was a good neighbor.

Back in the late 60's, Dick and I were best pals. One night we went to The Main Point to listen to Jim Kweskin and his Jug Band.

I remember Dick from college days. He was pleasantly rambunctious and fun-loving. As we grew older, there were many serious, soulful, and almost philosophical conversations. His views of life, family and work were focused on finding joy.

Jack and I spent time with Ginny and Dick in recent years. There was one time that stands out for me. The four of us met for dinner in Wilkes Barre at a club that Dick loved, in a city that held many good memories for him. It was so enjoyable to share that with him. His enthusiasms were infectious as was his good humor.

We have so many fond memories of Dick. My husband and I knew him in his retirement, in the beautiful Endless Mountains of Pennsylvania.

But he also brought sophistication to experiences with wine and food, opera and politics, that we found very sympatico. Mostly, we remember his infectious good humor and his flamboyant style, a successful...
