RICHARD SCOBIE

Remembering Dick, his big smile and his gentle humor and the ways he was supportive to so many. At the Heller, we always knew when he hit a dissertation writer's block because he would go out back and play the bagpipes. RIP Dick. Miss you still Maureen Power

To Jill and the men and women of the Scobie clan. I'm late to this sad news, but glad to have a chance to rewmember a wonderful friend. Dick was possibly the nicest person I've ever worked with. Nice isn't really a suffient adjative to descrie, but he was a tyruly nice and gentle friend. I served as a consultant to Dick and UUSC long ago. Dick was a good and thoughtful listener, but who spoke his mind. There was simply nothing about Dick aboutg which I could be critical. He had a...

One of my favorite parts of Ferry Beach, throughout all the years that we went there, was Dick Scobie playing the bagpipes. It is, to this day, a vivid memory , both visually and sonically, that I will carry with me forever. The sound of those pipes always meant something to me, from the first time I heard them when I was a boy on The Beach until this very day. The pipes hold a special place in the long and proud tradition of law enforcement in this country, but they hold a particularly...

To a child meeting the Scobies for the first time in Buenos Aires, my memories of Dick were always in association with good, with that mischievous twinkle in his eye, with the big smile that surrounded Jill and embraced all those in his presence. To my parents, Jack and Patti Dunn, the Scobies were dear friends abroad, made early in their careers, friends for life no matter where we lived. We grew up hearing of their growing family, and the wonderful rainbow of contributions made by their...

Jill and family, I met Dick in a Cancer Support group we were Lymphoma survivors at the Wellness Center in Newton. Our group was unique with strong focus on music. Dick with his guitar,bagpipes and vocals was definitely a leader. Dick was a great guy and certainly lived a full life...Blair Goudey

Such a special budy since Jr. High. Always fun to be with and helping to meet the many needs of the world. How he will be missed.

Jill and Family, I am so sorry for your loss. He was a remarkable man, an honor for us to be involved in his care. And fun too! Thank you very much for the kind mention of his care team at Harvard Vanguard.

The way he smiled, his thoughtfulness of us as he listened, his example of the necessity for justice (he advanced it, indeed), his gifts of music and art, his love for family ~ he worked hard at life's peaks and valleys. We wish him now a restful peace. We will think of you always, Dick, with great love. ~ cousin Susan ("Suzie") Hirst Read

Dear Jill, Stan kindly called me last night to share the news and his memories of Dick's death. My heart goes out to you and the kids. Together the two of you touched the lives of lots of us and I stand with your friends and family as as you say good-bye and begin gathering in the many Dick Stories. Gretchen Frasier
