Such a wonderful and humble family man. Dick was so prideful and supportive of his family. He was the epitome of a gentlemen and never seemed to meet a stranger. When speaking with him, he made you feel as if you were the most important person in the conversation. We have many memories of being the benefactors of Dick and Connie´s support through their support of Scott and Scott´s work with individuals with Developmental Disabilities. Our sincerest condolences to the entire family. Jo and Tim Clemens
