I really enjoyed working with Dick in Salt Lake City. He is a great man and it was a pleasure knowing him.

My prayers and thoughts are with his beautiful family. May all you reflections of you father, grandfather and husband be happy ones.

CLAUSEN FAMILY,
DICK WAS ONE OF US IN 1980 WHO CAME TO UTAH BECAUSE OF INSANITY AND EASTERN AIRLINES. HE WAS ONE OF THOSE "MEET HIM AND FEEL LOVED" KIND OF PEOPLE. HE WAS ONE OF THE NICEST MOST GENUINE FOLKS I EVER MET. HE WILL BE MISSED!

I am so sorry to learn of DICK'S death. He was my very first REAL supervisor at EASTERN back in 1968. He was always smiling and lots of fun. Great guy to work with, terrific friend to be around. I will always have fond memories of him. GOD BLESS!! Laura Weaver
