Dawn, so sorry to hear about your father. He was my primary instructor when I was going through D-side and radar training at ZAU.
He was a great instructor and an even better person. Thoughts, prayers, and God's richest blessings to you and your family.

Uncle Dick was such a kind, loving person. He was always so good to us and we have many fond memories of him. We will cherish the times he has given us his words of wisdom or cheered us with his humor. He has been an inspiration and comfort to us and we are grateful for the joy he brought to our lives. We will miss him very much. God Bless Uncle Dick and his entire family. We share their sorrow and will be praying for them. Lydia & Holly Love (Nowos)

Friends are many - good friends are few. I met Dick around 1960 and had the good fortune to call him my good friend. My condolences to Marcia and family.
