I remember Dick when I was a kid in Easton, PA growing up in the 79-80s. He was a member of the First Church of the Nazarene in Easton and lived in Palmer Twp if I recall. He was always a great guy and I know my parents enjoyed being around him. Prayers to the family.

Dick Schubert was a wonderful friend and personal inspiration. I had the honor of being his volunteer coach and leadership development teacher when he was the CEO of the American Red Cross. He arranged for me to go on a mission to Africa during the great famine. A trip that changed my life. I was then on the Board of the Peter Drucker Foundation with Dick for many years.
My life is so much better because of Richard Schubert! I hope to do for others what he did for me.

I first met Dick Schubert in 2002 and feel blessed to have known him. In spite of his many achievements he remained humbled. He was a generous mentor to many people and was always accessible for advice. He was a great colleague and a wonderful friend. Sending my sincere condolences to his wife Virginia and his family.
