Dear Patsy and family,
We will miss Dick very much. It was our pleasure to have known you both for over 50 years. Our shared experiences overseas with Monsanto were especially meaningful. Ed will always remember the fishing experiences with Dick in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Alaska, Canada and other places. Tight lines Dick and all our love.

Dick was a real prince among the "outlaws" of our extended family, so named by fellow outlaw Bob Huston. I remember so many happy times over the years of get togethers in San Antonio or Dayton, and always the laughter and bright spirit Patsy and Dick shared with us all. Wonderful memories of a great guy!

Patsy, We're both sorry to hear of Dick's death. We remember our last get together with Rosemary at L'Auberge (which, sadly, is out of business now.
We know you had many happy years together and trust that the memories will help to heal your present sense of loss. May he rest in peace.
