We met Dick, as we knew him, in Florida. We enjoyed his stories while working for the railroads as an engineer. We found out that he knew people that we knew and that made our friendship even more special. He held a special place in our group of friends. May he rest in peace and may you remember all the good memories that will help you get through this time.
