Shocked and deeply saddened by the news of Richard Hollingshead’s death last November. I was very fortunate to be hired by Dick in October 1992, and I continued to work for the man until September 1999. Dick exuded an air of nobility and toughness, at times I felt like I was working for a member of the Royal Family. Yet, Dick could be very compassionate and warm.
Dick was a strong man who battled back from a stroke in his late sixties and returned to run his corporation as if his stroke was simply an extended vacation. I worked for Dick after his return. I never worked for a better man. He ranks as one of the best bosses that I ever had.
I wish that I had returned to Sacramento a year earlier. I was stunned during my attempt to look Dick up to find out that he had passed away less than a year ago. He will be greatly missed.
My heartfelt condolences to Donna and his family.

I just found out that Dick passed away last year. I am so sorry...I talked to him a few years ago as I was editing a TV package with him as he talked to me on the phone from his home to min in Mass.
We did a piece on Drive-ins & he sent me a full picture of his dad when he invented the drive-in.
May the Lord bless him & his family!

Donna:
I just leaned of Dick's passing -- please forgive my tardiness in expressing heartfelt condolences to you and your family. The two of you are one of the most loving couples I have ever known. It was always special seeing you at ICA Board meetings and meetings of the WCA. I read that you plan to continue to operate the car washes -- let me know if I can assist!
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
