Read MoreDick was a true gentleman, always had a smile and treated all with honesty and respect. What an athlete he was and his skill in sailing and writing about it was extraordinary. He was a good friend over the past 30 years and I will miss him dearly.

Di ck was always an inspiration. We will miss him, but I know he is resting peacefully with his maker.

Laurie, Libbie and Susan,
I got to know your Mom and Dad when I was a cadet on the Citadel Sailing Team and he was a ROTC instructor. What an honor it was to have him as a coach and get to know your Mom. I’m sure y’all don’t remember us coming to the house to just to talk sailing. I continued to see your dad in Eustis, Fla. racing a MC Scow and about two years ago in Annapolis. They were a great couple and I’m sure they’re together again. God bless to y’all and your families.
