"Dickie" and I were classmates and graduated together from LHS in 1956.
I could never compete with his "DA" or his "Tony Curtis", which he wore with pride. And, he was one snappy dresser. We had much fun together and I am saddened at his passing. Dick and all his family are in my prayers.

My wife and I were so sorry to hear of your loss, Pat. We fondly remember our chance meeting on the island of Jamaica when you and Dick were first married and getting together again in Lowell for dinner. We remember that and you are in our thoughts and our prayers.
