Not sure what to say?

So sorry for your loss. I was deeply saddened to hear of Professor Settle's passing. I was one of his students at UPS and one of his colleagues at Foster Pepper. His passion for land use law and the constitution inspired me to pursue a career in land use that has lasted over 40 years. I am forever in his debt.

Professor Settle was my teacher during law school and mentor and friend throughout my land use law career. He will be missed!

I was a faculty secretary at UPS Law School for 10 years working directly with Professor Settle. I enjoyed working with Dick all those years ago, he was always a joy to work with and for. He will be missed greatly.

A true artist of life who will be greatly missed. So grateful for the many years of shared adventures and life lessons. I can hear you singing our song from heaven.
