Richard and I worked at Chicago Title and Lincoln Nation in the 1970s/1980s. He was technically save as we worked together to develop computer programs for the investment department. His smiling demeanor. tousled hair and intelligent conversation were a stable of interest for me and others. I wish his family well in his passing.
