I met Dick 40 years ago. He was my loader in my AAA demolition business. He and Jackie worked on my yachts in Fort Lauderdale. They both traveled many times bringing my vessels from Indiana down the Ohio River, Tennessee Tom Bigsby Waterway, Lake Ponchatrain, Gulf of Mexico, around the Keys and on to Fort Lauderdale.
I have many fond memories of Dick and will miss him dearly.
My condolences to Jackie and all of Dick´s family and friends.
