To Richard's Family,
I am sad to read of Dick's passing. I worked with Dick at the Caterpillar Mossville Engine Plant from 1976 until Dick retired. I was an Electrical Engineer in Facility Engineering. Dick had many excellent ideas to make the job easier both in the machine shop and assembly. I hope your many happy memories will help you get through this most difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
