As a client of Dick's for many years, I grew to admire him not only as a lawyer but as a friend. Having both grown up in Indiana, we loved reminiscing over lunch or dinner about our days there and enjoyed spirited, but always cordial, discussions about the athletic fortunes of our alma maters, Purdue and Indiana, which are arch rivals. I will greatly miss those lunches and dinners. Dick, the world was a better place because of you.
