Maria Teresa:
Siento mucho el fallecimiento de Dick, yo tengo muy buenos recuerdos de el. Dick fue un gran jefe para mi,tuve la suerte de haber trabajado con el en Miami asi como aqui en Richmond. El siempre me contaba su experiencia cuando vivio en El Salvador, se moria de la risa cuando me contaba como comenzo a trabajar en ES.
No tengo palabras para expresarles a usted como a sus tres hijas mi mas sentido pesame y yo se que Dick ya esta descansando en la presencia de Dios.
