So sorry to hear of Dick's passing. Memories of Dick from South High - meeting him on the road as we drove around Framingham on a Friday night. Kim, hope you are doing well.

It was so long ago but some I remember much like yesterday. We were together a lot when our folks were playing bridge, and his dad was generous enough to include me in Red Sox outings with Ricky (he never was Rick or Dick to me only Ricky, which I assume he drooped soon after I last saw him.) We also spent a fair amount of time walking back from sophomore football practice together and shooting the breeze.
Kim Tracy and Tammy and the other loved ones I never met, my thoughts are with you.

I was saddened by the sudden news of Rick´s passing. He was a very kind and warm-hearted neighbor to me. I wish you the best at this difficult time. Kyungmi (Mimi) Sacks
