To my cousins -



I was sorry to hear of your dad's passing. Sally kept me updated with Janie's emails and it sounded like uncle Dick "fought the good fight," as my dad used to say.



He is the last of an honorable generation of Beckers, who did the Town of Dedham proud and we are better for them.



Best regards to you and your families,

Dear Becker Family,

I was saddened to hear about the passing of Dick Becker. My father, Bill McNally who recently moved from Dedham to Scituate, worked for many years with Dick as an Engineer in NE Telephone. The stories were great to listen to. I know my dad enjoyed your dad very very much.

Prayers to your family.
