Dick was our friend and neighbor in Atlanta. He was wry and erudite and interested in most everything. I am sorry he has passed from this earth. I will miss him.
Not too many years ago, he helped me by climbing up on our outhouse and shoveling off the 3 feet of snow that had accumulated up there. It was a neighborly act above and beyond. He was just that kind of guy.

Dick was a very special man. He had a wonderful sense of humor, kind and generous. During our high school years, we had so much fun. Thinking of him makes me smile.
