So very saddened to hear of Dick's passing. I was a part of a catering group that helped out doing many TILT parties on their island and we were treated like family. Carol always knew her kitchen was in good hands. Dick had to transport us back and forth from the mainland and always helped load and unload the boat! And after a busy day, a special memory, he treated us to some ice cream at the local shop. Heartfelt condolences to Carol and the family. Special times we will never forget! Sincerely, Cindy Spaziani

My sincerest condolences to the Munro family. I got to know Dick without knowing of his tremendous accomplishments and sacrifices to organizations to make the world a better place. You could just tell that there was something special about this man that made your day to have an encounter with him when I saw him at the Clayton Shurfine. Without a doubt, he will be missed by many and I for one was glad to have known him.

There has been a real life saint among us. Dick used his God given gifts to make the world a better place. He has left his mark on many. Rest in peace.

Carol and family, I'm am very saddened to hear of Dick's passing. Words can't describe what he meant to us at the store. We looked forward to see him each spring (with him making sure he got a hug from all 3 generations of my family who work there), and we were sad to see him leave each fall. He was a true gentlemen who was without a doubt the most kind and generous person I have ever known. It was an honor to know him and to consider him a friend.
My condolences to all of you.

It is with great sadness to hear of the passing of John. I had the privilege of waiting on him and Carol at Captain Spicers Gallery in Clayton for thirty years. It was always a pleasant experience and I enjoy my time with both of them. In 1990, we had an ice cream shop called "The St. Lawrence Sweet Shop". My daughter Heather was a Junior at SUNY Potsdam. She often spoke about Mr. Munro and how much she enjoyed him stopping by for ice cream. One day she told me---"I want to marry a man just like him one day." It is a memory I will never forget. Sending blessings and prayers to all your family and friends.

Can´t say it any better than Lisa Valk. Dick set the bar for personal standards at what I will always refer to as Time Inc.
I was introduced to Dick when I came to New York while being recruited for a sales position at Sports Illustrated. Five minutes with him and there was no question of what my decision would be. And being a former Navy officer, his Marine spirit came through loud and clear!
I too am a Naples resident. Keeping up with Dick´s tireless efforts within the community was difficult to comprehend. He was certainly not a member of the laid back retired CEO population! Rest in peace Dick. You will be missed.

My parents had a high regard for Dick. They would be so saddened to know this. Mom knew Dick since Clayton Central High School days. God surely blessed your family. My condolences.

I first met Dick through my Dad with whom Dick worked at Time Inc. Then I had the privilege of working at Time Inc when Dick was the CEO. He was a great executive and I saw first hand his devotion to people, service, and always trying to do what was right. He was a very talented and truly wonderful man. My Sincere Condolences to the Munro Family. Lindsay Valk
