My sincere condolences go out to the Scherer family. I worked with Dick for 28 years at Bruce Offset Co. A real gentleman and true professional salesman. Always treated the people in the pressroom with respect. Mr. Notre Dame and a pretty good tennis player too. He will be missed.

My deepest sympathies to the Scherer family. I worked with Dick on one of the RR Donnelley Annual Reports and even met Loretta on a very late night press check! He was an exceptional sales representative for the company, first class and the ultimate gentleman who loved his family deeply. May the memories you had together as a family comfort you during this time.
With blessings,

Rest in peace my friend.

My condolences to all. I met Dick when he called on Ryerson at least 30 years ago and he went from an A+ rep for Bruce Offset to ALSO becoming a wonderful friend whom I adored. Rest in peace, dear friend.
