Dear Judy and Family,
We have been traveling and just now heard of Dick's passing. You have our deepest sympathy. We always will remember Dick with a smile on his face and thoughts of the next stretch of trout-stream dancing in his head. He was our favorite curmudgeon.
love,
Steve and Peggy Pollick

So now he has found a stretch of God's quiet stream where the evening is warm, the winds are light, and the fish are rising.

Judy and all the Family,
It was such a joy to visit with Dick at TN Wesleyan in May. Ed and I treasure that time spent with him remembering our days on campus together. He was loved by his TN Wesleyan Family and will long be remembered. May God grant you peace and comfort in the memories of the good you and Dick have done together and the pleasant times you have shared. God be with you.

I fondly remember Dick and his family on the campus of Tennessee Wesleyan. Dick was always friendly and gave the folks around him a positive feeling about life.
I hope the treasured memories you shared and God's love and power will bring you peace now. Patsy Marrs Wilson, class of 1959

Judy; I'm so sorry to hear of Dick's passing. He was a good friend of everyone in the fly-fishing community, and will be sorely missed. Please accept my deepest sympathy for our collective loss. Here is how I will always remember him. This was Dick tying soft hackle flies at the 2005 North Coast Fly Fisher's Expo. I will tie some soft hackles in his memory at this year's Expo.

Please accept my deepest sympathies on behalf of the staff of The Victory Center. Dick and Judy were frequent visitors at TVC, in order to reach out to cancer patients and survivors and introduce them to the joy and often new experience of fly fishing. Many lives were touched by the way Dick shared this passion...he will certainly be missed. Penny
