Patsy, I only just found out about Dick's passing. I will miss him so much! From the day I met him and gave him a ride in my yellow Mustang convertible, he was a special person in my life. His wonderful hugs at Irish Fest and the Highland Games were always a special treat. I am so happy I knew such a wonderful man.
With caring and sympathy,
Carrie McKenzie

Dick always was delightful, charming fellow. I enjoyed his company and conversation. I knew him from his dedication to the Irish Cultural and Heritage Center. May your many fond memories of him bring you comfort, strength and joy.
