My condolences to all of Dick's family. I had the great pleasure of knowing Dick for the past 8 years. I always enjoyed telling him of my travels, and his stories of his travels. I have made the comment for as good as he looked I thought when he retired he would live to 100. When I started at Thermo King was right after Dick had passed the 50 year mark of working, and being shocked that he had that long, and thinking he must of started as a child, because he didn't look like he could have that many years in. I regret very much now when Dick stopped in at Thermo King since his retirement I didn't try harder to get a chance to talk to him, but when he did stop in it was something like trying to get an audience with the Pope. Everyone wanted to talk to Dick, and I thought there would be more time. I was looking forward to hearing of his travels while on retirement. Dick is missed by many at Thermo King.

While I didn't work directly with Dick, I first met him when he helped us fabricate mounts for our wireless network antennas in the Thermo King warehouse. While this was nowhere within the scope of Dicks job responsibilities, he knew he was in a position to help us and had the tools and knowledge to do so. He didn't know us, didn't have to help us, but he did so with passion and pride; and this I will never forget. I'll also never forget Dick for his fitness routine of jogging around the block during his lunch hour, often with his shirt removed. What 60+ year old can say they go for a run, with their shirt off, during lunch hour at work? Dick Unger can. He was a special person and always greeted me with a smile. I'm a better person for having met him. Thoughts and prayers to your family. May God be with you and bless you.

While my years at Thermo King are no match for Dick's tenure here, I miss seeing Dick in the hallways or walking during lunch. He always had a welcoming smile and a comment or two that made the rest of us enjoy being here. I will miss seeing him at the retiree events. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone who knew him.
