I met Dick in 2005, he reminded me a great deal of my own father, what a great guy. He drove to my house in December to rescue me from a plumbing fiasco of my own creation. What a great guy. He never failed to put a smile on my face. He shall truly be missed.

I remember my first airplane ride was with Uncle Dick. Brian and I were barely tall enough to see out the windows so he would bank the plane. Blessings to all the family. - Charles C.
