Dick was the twin of my best friend, he and Deb would fool people because no one knew that they were actually twins. They did not announce it which was fun at times. God bless the family, Debbie big hugs to you my friend. Love ya

I was not close to Dick but I am the kind of friend of Debbie, his twin, that we can sit down after years apart and it is like we were next door neighbors the entire time. Now, if I recall, twins have a special bond others don't even understand so I'm praying for my dear friend Debbie cause I know her heart is breaking deep with sorrow.

Goodbye, dear Dick, you are missed by all who knew you as you were unforgettable. This life is a sadder place without you. Rest well out of pain.

Dick was a close friend. I was diagnosed and treated for esphogeal cancer about the same time that Dick began his cancer ordeal. Unbeknownst to me, Dick was undergoing his life ordeal at about the same time.

I don't have any surviving relatives besides my mother and I thought at the time that I learned of his death and read his obituary that maybe it should have been me who passed.

Although I have (had) not seen Dick in years, I have many wonderful memories. Dick was a true artist and lived life to the fullest. I wished and was looking forward to him finishing the work he had been doing on his house on Bushnell Ave. before he moved and left RS.

Artist that he was, that house was special. I remember "crashing" Dick's house one night with another friend and gazing up at the roof, the rafters and the stars.....there was no roof on the house at the time!!!!

That house had an amazing fireplace and a tiled, "walk-in shower" that no one but an artist like Dick could have thought of or designed. In France or Manhatten that shower would have been considered a signature of an artistic genius. For those of us that knew him well that was just another personal "signature" of Dick's many talents.

Dick was a true friend to me. He was special and I feel (another) great loss. I will miss him dearly.
