Dear Peggy, I was so sorry to hear about Dick. I am a Navy Aerospace Physiologist and have known Dick since 1970. He was a wonderful friend and fine Air Force Office. I think the last time that I was with you and Dick was for Capt Jerry Patee's retirement in Washington, DC.
I send love and respect to you and your family. Douglas Call, CAPT MSC, USN (Ret.)

As you said, Peggy, Richard passed into a new life. I know he leaves a big hole in all your lives, and he leaves a hole in mine. He was such a good man, and you cared for him so well for so long. Peace & joy to all of you, and know I think of you.
