I'm so sorry for your loss. Dick was a wonderful man. I was very lucky to have him as my SAR commander. He believed in me at times where I didn't believe in myself. He was a true pioneer in Salt Lake Search and Rescue.

My uncle also had a friendship with him at silver state . I'm sure those are laughing it up now and catching up on days gone by.
