I am so sorry to hear this news of Dicks passing! I always remember him as a sweet guy in high school and I really enjoyed talking to him and Loretta at our class reunions and talking about New Mexico! He will surely be missed! Sending love and hugs at this difficult time!

Hi - I knew Rick as Dick, but regardless, he was a wonderful friend for a youngster in Cortland. I lived a few streets over from his Joy St home. Wishing only good thoughts for his surviving family. RIP.
