Not sure what to say?

As one of his students and fans, he introduced me to Dixieland, which led to a lifelong fascination with jazz. He was also the faculty adviser to our Dixieland band at East High, Those Magnificent Men in Their Music Machine. He was positive, patient, and very instructive. Thank you, Mr. Sheridan!

I had the pure please of being one of Dick´s students for a short time. It didn´t take but a minute to fall in love with him and his kind soul. He definitely made an imprint in my life and I will remember him with a heart full of gratitude for having met him on my life´s journey. I send heartfelt sympathy for his family.

Dick volunteered many times at the St. Ann's Church Bazaar & Barbecue in the Hamlet of Owasco. His friendly upbeat energy and ready smile will be missed by many at our Church.

To bereaved family sorry for your loss. Richard will be missed. I took care of his sister Mary years ago.

Richard was a wonder person, and will be missed. I took care of his sister and got to know him through her. I fondly remember him coming in with his banjo and playing Christmas carols for the residents to sing along with him. He was a true artist. My prayers are with you all.
