The Board of the Greenwich Symphony Orchestra are grateful to Dick for his leadership as GSO Treasurer for many years, and equally grateful for his outstanding generosity in supporting the GSO programs for education of Greenwich students. As current Treasurer, I am indebted to Dick for setting up our financial and accounting systems, and training me in how to use them. We will miss him.
