My condolences to all of Dick´s family. I was proud to call Dick one of my closet friends and I will miss him. We met in October of 1998 when I moved next door to Dick and Rita. We instantly connected and I could talk to them about anything! Not a Christmas or Halloween went by that we didn´t see each other or chat on the phone. They were both like a second Mom and Dad to me. You will never meet a nicer couple them Dick and Rita. They are reunited again in Heaven and that brings a smile to my face. I will cherish all the laughs, great times we had on Conant Drive and on the golf course! RIP my friend.
