Dear Julia and Gregg,
I was just informed of Dick's passing from one of our Class of '63 (Springifeld College) classmates.
My deepest sympathy and prayers go out to you.
Dick was one of my Track Team mates all four years at Springfield and also the Manager of our Nationally rated Cross Country Team. I was lucky enough to meet up with him at the Track & Cross Country Reunion a couple of years ago.
We will miss him greatly.
