So very sorry for your loss. Dick was a tremendous colleague, caring mentor and friend. After working with Dick several years ago I am grateful that I got the opportunity this Spring to sit across the desk from him again several times and talk about his future and mine. Always offering sound advice, from legal and career strategy to raising children. In my back pocket I still have his quip for how to steer kids away from doing something foolish, because everything can amount to a "safety issue." We'll see if it works on my daughter Dick. Fingers crossed. Your memorable laugh is etched in my mind, hopefully not soon forgot.

To the Beckler Family, I am so sorry to hear that Mr. Beckler went home to be with the Lord and you have my deepest sympathy. I had the pleasure to be one of Mr. Beckler's secretaries at Fulbright & Jaworski and he was wonderful to work with. I know that he loved his daughters and his family and I know that he will truly be missed. I pray that God will continue to bless your family and cover you with HIS love during this time.
