It is was with great regret to hear of Dicks passing. In working with him for only a short time it was obvious the type of man/husband/father he was. We should all only hope to be 1/2 the person that he was and this would be a much better place for all of us. My sincerest condolences to his entire family. He will be missed very dearly.

Dick was one of the best in the business. I worked with him on BAE IFF systems for several years. He will be missed by one and all. I had the privilege of talking with Dick shortly before I retired from LMCO at the end of April. I was shocked and saddened at his unexpected passing. You have my sincere regards and sympathy.
