I will always remember Dick. He was my training officer in Cuyahoga Falls. Although I already had experience as a patrol officer, I was amazed with the common sense and caring approach that Dick used to instill in me the community policing approach to law enforcement before it had a name. Throughout my career, Dick was an inspiration to me, and a friend I could depend on when I needed advice. I miss him, and think of him often.
