Dear Alice Lee & Family,
Holle joins me in sending our condolences and expressing our deepest sympathy to all of you at this time of your loss. As you know, Dick was very special to me and the entire Cook Family -- just as you are Alice Lee. We will miss him greatly and think of him every time we come to Tucson. Just knowing he was five houses up the street from Mom & Dad's house all these years was comforting. Every time I came home on leave -- and all the years afterwards -- Dick was alway waiting to hear Army stories, swap hunting tales and recommend (and often give me) books to read. There is also an M1 Garand in my safe that will always be Dick Boyer's rifle. I cherish this "old soldier" of a rifle and knowing it was once Dicks makes it special. So . . . so long old friend. You were a fine representation of the National Park Service and, long ago, the Unites States Army. I shall always be grateful that you were my friend.
Garry Owen, Sir!

Sorry to hear that another of my old NPS freinds has gone on. I remember Dick and Alice Lee when I was a seasonal ranger at Ash Mountain in 1952-53. We had a common friend, John Rutter, who was the first ranger I ever met. I ran into Dick in later years while he was in the Washington Office and I was Supt. at Wind Cave NP. I can remember being at their house at Ash Mountain and the racoons came begging in the evening. Best of everything to Alice Lee and the family. Les and Wanda McClanahan

To all his family members and friends near and far, please sign this with whatever you remember about our dad. Anecdotes or what is on your heart will be read and appreciated by us all.
e.g. I met a real estate developer in Georgia who instantly knew me as I introduced myself because of a run-in he'd had with Dad when he was the Superintendent of Kennesaw Mountain. It seems this person had unfortunately taken a shortcut cross Federal property with his bulldozer and Dad caught him. I'm sure this developer never forgets that incident when having his men take a dozer off his trucks. Dad was very tough and at the same time so very gentle.
