From the first time I met Dick; I found him to be one in a million; he always made you laugh; that dry sense of humor; and those looks that you never knew what he was thinking! I have many great memories from hanging out at his (Bill's) football parties; and Manettis' over the years. He was a great friend; and he would do what he could for anyone. He will be so sadly missed by all who knew him.
With our deepest sympathy to Beryl Ann; the entire family and not to mention all his friends.
