Will be forever grateful to Dick for his mentorship, leadership, inspiration by word and deed and finally his great wit, oratory skills and sense of humor. Thank you Dick. It was an honor to know you in my 1st job in Boston for Burroughs Wellcome.

Condolences to Dick's family. I enjoyed playing golf with Dick and I especially enjoyed having many conversations with him. He will be missed by myself and the Audubon golf family.
