I had the priveledge of knowing Dick for at least 25 years. Dick was a Life Member of APCO, Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials, and I met him almost every year at the annual APCO conference. Mostly, however, I remember Dick as a gental man. I never saw him as anything other that a really great guy.
I offer condolences to his family and friends who I know will miss him dearly. There were a limited number of his associates in APCO who in a friendly way called Dick, R cubed. RRR I will miss your company and wit.

To Patricia and Rich's family, please accept my sincere sorrow on the loss of your beloved Rich. I have know him for well over 30 years through our work with MidEastern and International APCO and I could not have asked for a better coworker and friend. His smile would light up the room and his dedication on all levels of APCO ran deep and sincere. For those who are members of my "Lin Ford's Old Fossil's Club" the memories of Rich at our Conference meetings will always bring a smile and laugh--he was such an important part. To his family and coworkers, I know you will feel the loss deeply and I pray God will bring you peace and solace. Remember the wonderful memories always-I know I will.

I would like to send my sincere condolences to Rich's family and friends.
I've had the pleasure of working with Rich for many years in his capacity of APCO Local Frequency Advisor for Delaware. Rich was dedicated to public safety communications work but more importantly, he understood and practiced family first. Rest in peace good friend.

Very sad to note Rich's passing. I had the opportunity to work with him for many years within the APCO association. He was a very easy person to work with and to know as a friend. Rest in peace.
