I went to Matignon H.S. with Dick and played football with him. He was in the class 1 year ahead of me. He was tough but a great guy to know. I believe he helped me and a few friends get temp jobs with the phone company when we were in college.A lot of good memories.

Worked with Dick in VZ Woburn Const and Engineering. He was always so cheerful, easy going and highly respected. Best boss I ever had. He never appeared to have a bad day, though I'm sure he did but he never let it show. Always cheerful and upbeat. Dick was a wonderful man. God bless him & may his family find comfort in the days ahead.
