On November 15, 2011, Dick lost a three year courageous battle with cancer. He is survived by his children, Michael (Christy) and Minette; and his grandchildren, Tanner, Lexie and Michael.

I WAS ABLE TO MEET DICK BECAUSE HE WAS A GOOD FRIEND TO MY BROTHER--PAT. Dick was very supportive of Pat when Pat was very ill. I am glad to have met Dick thru Pat, and am sorry to learn of his passing-especially someone who brought so much warmth to friends. I am sure he will be sorely missed. Dan Reiley
