So sorry to hear about Dick. He was a great guy to work with. His job at the bakery wasn't easy putting up with all of us. He dished it out as well as took it. He will be sadly missed. My deepest condolences to you all.

Dick was my best friend in high school and after. We lost touch when he went to Nam but I did see him a couple times at reunions. My condolences to his family in their time of grief.
