I worked with Dick in his physical therapy treatments late 2005 and into early 2006 and enjoyed getting to know him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends at this time. It was a pleasure to have met him.

Dick was such a good friend that would do anything for you. He loved to make us spaghetti and chili. He will be missed by many.
