Dick, I have known you for over 25 years . Granted in the beginning I had to prove myself .But we had a good relationship, once you knew I wasn't going anywhere . Sorry I never did play golf with you, but I knew better . I would have gotten my chops busted over my poor swing ! Thank you for being being a great dad to Carole . I cant imagine how many blistering days you spent at the horse shows. Good thing you could sneak a cold beverage in now and them to keep you refreshed. Thanks for being a so attentive to Timmy . You and Tim spent many hours watching sports , the history channel . talking stocks, business etc. You always challanged Tims mind, and I am sure you are one of the reasons , he has grown up to so responsible . I hope your at peace now and with out pain. I hope you get a hole in one at that big golf course in the sky . Love Dan .

Condolences to all,
Many great times with Pittsie, most on our trips to Myrtle Beach and many more at local golf courses. Lots of good days at the camp, looking over the water and having laughs over a beer (sometimes 2 or more). We've lost a great man!

To the Pitts Family,
Dick was my first golf league partner and it lasted for over twenty-five years, and also played with him on weekends with Fletcher and Dick Lemoine during that time. My running joke with your mother was when I called: "I would ask if the DOCTOR was in?" I can honestly say that we had many, many laughs and good times, I spent more time talking with him about work, golf, the Red Sox and picked his brain than I got a chance to with my own father, you were very fortunate to have had such a great person in your lives and I know I will never forget him, but will miss him greatly!

My deepest condolences on the death of your dad. I remember him from your days on Merritt St. very well. He was a good man.
He is now with your mom and Grandfather at that big "Cappy's" in heaven.
