To the Wilde Family,

Diane and I were very sorry to hear of the passing of Dick. He was a great guy and by all means it was always great to see him on his visits back to Skaneateles. Our family will always remember the time we had lunch together with him and Coach Holtz in Orlando many years ago when our kids were very young. MY son still remembers that day as he wore his winter Notre Dame jacket to see Coach Holtz when it was almost 85 degrees out. Dick had the biggest laugh and we always talked about that day each time we got to see each other.

Always remember the great times!!
