Liz, I am so sorry for the loss of your brother. May your many happy memories of Dick comfort you and your family during this sad difficult time. One of my fondest memories of Dick, was of him coaching our women´s FOP softball team. He was a special person. (He was a great coach) We will miss him, but remember him too with a smile. My deepest Sympathy to you and your family.
