Fantastic comrade in arms. Flew with Dick at the Pennsylvania Air National Guard Guard. Always got the job done, and, had fun getting it done.

Just got word of Dick's passing and my condolences go out to the entire family. Dick came from a very large family and all were very close. Great guy. Rest in peace.
