Susan, I want to extend my deepest sympathy to you and your family. I admired Dick as a boss and as a person. He was definitely a true gentleman. He would make a point to say something to each of us in Customer Service to make us feel part of the team. He truly was a great leader for Swedish Match. He will be greatly missed by many. Your family will be in my prayers during this difficult time and remember God has his arms around each of you.

God Bless,

Susie, Chuck, Mike - Please accept my deepest sympathy in the passing of your husband and father. Dick was a mentor to me in these last few years at Swedish Match. There are so many people who can appreciate his humor and wit. He will be greatly missed by all. He spoke often of the three of you. You were his world and it was evident in the tone and manner in which he would provide updates of jobs and personal achievements of each of you. My heart is aching for all of you.
