I had the blessing of getting to know Dick over the last year through our twice a month Centering Prayer group. He had an authenticity and wisdom about him that you don't often encounter and he was always a source of encouragement for us all. His deep love for his family was evident as was his abiding love for God. We are going to miss him so very much. My condolences to his family - you are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you.

I was saddened to hear of Dick's passing. What a lovely, gentle, wise and sharing man. I thought of him today out of the blue, and shortly after learned of his passing. My condolences.

During the three-plus years I knew Dick, he was a model of kindness, strength and support. His willingness to be human was inspirational; by example he encouraged others to do the same. Dick's presence in my life was a true blessing. I will miss him and continue to learn from the way he "walked the walk."
