Dear Doris,
I was so sorry to hear of Dickies death. I have not seen him since the 2005 Bunker Hill baseball team reunion. I only wish we had been closer to stay in touch as he was my big buddy and very close friend when we played baseball in 1954 and 1955. I only have the warmest memories of his smiling face, great stories, and always upbeat personality. I know all of his fomer teammates feel as I do and he will always be remembered. Now he can team up with John Wolf, Jim Burch, and Jake .His memory will always be with his former teammates.

Doris, Karen, Jean and Family,
Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to you in the loss of Dickie. Wayne and I have many fond memories of our long time relationship with your family. You can't speak of Dickie without remembering his great police and golf stories, and his imitations that he performed to a tee. So many laughs and good times he provided to us and all of his friends.
We are sadden for the loss felt by his children and grandchildren who he loved so dearly.
It is always a difficult time when we lose those we love.It can often changes our lives and set us on very different paths in making our adjustments. May God guide you through this time. Our prayers go with you and may you find comfort in the knowledge that he is out of pain and in the arms of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Love,
Wayne and Delores
PS. Dickie was always one of the good guys

Doris, Karen and Jean,
I am so sorry for your loss. I have many happy memories of Dick and the times our families got together to enjoy a backyard cookout and playing volley ball or maybe when he and my dad helped each other with some project. Please know that Dick was loved and respected by many, myself included.

Dickie served with distinction and his professionalism was respected by all who knew him. It was my privilege to serve with him. The citizens of WASHDC were well served by this capable lawman. May he RIP.
