Ricki,
I´m so sorry to learn of Dick´s passing. I so admired him and his passion for helping less fortunate people, and I very much welcomed his friendship, advice and support when I was President of Goddard. My most sincere condolences.

Dick and I grew up in St Louis and each of us had successful careers in New York. Some years back I suggested he consider buying an apartment where I live at 47 E 88 St that was his first East side residence. He was very pleased with the move. I will miss Dick and send condolences to Ricki who was very attentive to his needs towards the end of his life.
