Gloria and family, we were saddened to learn of your recent loss. Dick was such a wonderful person, a great boss and a good friend. We shall always remember his terrific sense of humor. We still talk of the time we met you folks unexpectedly at that restaurant in Maine. He shall always have a fond place in our hearts.

My deepest sympathy goes to you Gloria, and your family. Dick and I were co-workers, and I will never forget his unfailing ability to apply a common sense approach to solve any problem that arose. We developed a very strong friendship, and I consider it a privilege to have been able to call him a friend.

Please accept my deepest sympathy.
Dick was the first person I worked for at Raytheon. He was truly a kind, decent, and generous man. He was my guide and mentor, and in time became my friend. I am so sorry to hear of his passing.

Uncle Dick, You will be sorely missed by many. I will always remember the many basketball games you, my dad, Uncle Ray the other older kids played over the many memorial and labor day weekends over your house on MT Hope St. Aunty Gloria, I just want to say "I Love You"! Me, Cherie, Jared, Rebekah and Matty will continue to keep you and your family in our prayers during this time. Know that Jesus is as close as the mention of His name. Proverbs 3:5-6 (My life verse...just thought I'd share it with you)
