Dear Caye -
Doug and I were so saddened to learn of your loss. I have fond memories of Dick as a colleague, of hunting together one miserable November morning, the two of you at our wedding, and of course, of Dick as a teacher to Hillary, Beth and Glenna.
Please know that you and your family are in our family's thoughts and prayers.
With deepest sympathy,
Laura

When I worked at Kearsarge Lodge Antiques, it was always a joy to see Dick pull up in his pickup with some new Chinese consignments. He was such a wealth of information about so many things and he had so many interests and such a love of life! Dick was also one terrific teacher! He will be missed by so many! My deepest sympathy to the family.

As a student of "Mr. Currier" I most fondly remember building and launching model rockets after school! He was a great teacher and a kind soul.

Mr. Currier was a former teacher of mine; I know that he will be deeply missed. He was an attentive advisor for a club called "News Team" that was very important to the students involved. He was a strong and positive influence during my middle school years. My warm thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends at this time of loss.
