It is hard to believe that a year has gone by since we lost you. I have thought about you every day and hope with all my heart that you have found peace on your journey. I will always miss you and I will always love you.

I just heard of Dick's passing. I have known Dick for too many years to count. He was a good friend, had the messiest office I've ever seen, and I loved being with him

My husband and I were so sad when we learned about Dick...we just found out yesterday! We live in Colorado but Dick has been my accountant for 20 years...We spoke several times a year just to catch up and we were hoping he was going to come out and ski as we know that was his passion! We are so sorry

I spent a very enjoyable evening with Dick 2 summers ago when I was in Boston to visit my grandaughters. Even though I was not an official member of the Wylde family anymore, Dick and I continued to keep in touch. He took me out to dinner at a favorite restaurant of his in Swamscott, I think, and it was wonderful, though a LONG ride from Boston! He got me caught up on all the "Wylde" stuff and entertained me with his story telling. I'll miss the updates on the family. This was definitely a shock to all who knew him and I pray that his family finds some solace.

We were saddened to hear of Dick's death and will miss his cheerful wave when he drove by. (We lived two houses down on his street.) Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones.

Truly sad and shocking news. I very much enjoyed working with Dick. He was very bright and professional, but even more than that, a very nice man. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

My sympathies to Diane, Stephen and Peggy on the loss of your dad. Back in the 70's he would bring you to my home on Cape Cod. Dick was a great father and friend of mine and was the accountant for my boss for the 14 yrs I was there. I learned a lot from him. Jan Durmer

Dick was not only my accountant for almost 40 years, he was a friend. He was a guest at our most important family functions. I will miss Dick greatly. It will be easy to find another accountant but his friendship will be impossible to replace. I had lunch with Dick on December 5 and am grateful for those memories. He was his usual witty and charming self.

You are in my thoughts and prayers. I have many great memories of our time working together at Raphael & Raphael in Boston in the early 1980's. Very funny, very smart and a good mentor. Rest in peace Dick.
