Dear Shaw family,
I'm very sorry for your loss. I knew Dick from my days working at Butler Hospital. We also lived in the same East Providence apartment building during the 1980s, where I would occasionally get together with him for some of impish wisdom.
He was a nice guy that a liked a lot. I will always remember him fondly.
With best wishes and condolences,
Walter Clarke
