I worked with Dick at the Permanent Savings Bank. Dick was the consummate gentleman. I am sure he will be missed by everyone whose life he touched.

It was lovely having Dick as our neighbor for nearly 20 years on North Drive. Dick was the kindest, sweetest and wittiest man, and we miss him dearly. May you Rest in Heaven now with your beloved wife.

Farewell my faithful family; yet not farewell; although I am gone before your face, having shared moments in time in physical space, when you come to walk where I now step; you will wonder why you ever wept.

Heartfelt condolences in remembering a wonderful man.
