When I was a young lawyer, I had the privilege of seeing Dick Funsch in action in the courtroom, doing a great job for his client. After that, we would run into each other on occasion, he always remembered my name, he was always gracious, and a complete gentleman. May he rest in peace.

Miss him much as we talked so often on the phone. He was a roommate mt junior year at Princeton and we visited him and Mary and stayed with them on Harrison St in Princeton during reunions. I will miss much talking to him. It is hard for me to feel this great friend is not with us today. Larry Day writing from StLouis.
