Just a couple of days ago I was thinking back about Tucumcari & his mom whom I used to be the paperboy for came to mind & then he did & the time I first met him at his office for Southern Pacific RR. Him & my grandfather were good friends. He also worked for SO as AN engineer. Hard to believe they are gone.

R.I.P. dad...

Rest in peace Grandpa, I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to know you better. I'll always remember you coming out to California to visit my dad R.N.S. and I, and our trip up to the San Francisco zoo.

Mr. Spence, Thank You for the opportunities you created in my life.

Dick was as true a friend as possible. Always there and never wavered Only very fond memories.

TThe transportation industry, and those of us that worked with Dick, have lost a friend who lived according to high standards. I enjoyed such opportunity in the early 1970's when we were young and earning our way with the Southern Pacific and Denver & Rio Grande Western respectively. An opportunity of a lifetime to collaborate with such a fine and enjoyable man.
God bless his family.

Sorry to hear of your loss. I met him in the early 70s at his office in San Francisco when I was stationed there. He & my grandfather who also worked for SP as an engineer out of Tucumcari, NM were friends. In the early to mid 60s I was his mother's paperboy before her life was taken. He was a fine man & I sometimes wond ered what became of him. Again I am sorry for your loss & my thoughts are with you.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
