My dad (Ben Dorsett Jr.) was an officer out of the Jamestown office working under Dick. One day my dad was involved in a traffic accident, he was rear ended while getting out of the patrol car. Dick was already there and stayed with my dad not just at the scene but went with him to the hospital until my brother and I could get there. What an upstanding and thoughtful man he was! The world lost a Great man!! Our family passes along heartfelt condolences to the Nutting family.
