Maureen, we are deeply saddened by Dick's passing. He was always smiling and so easy-going. We will remember all the times shared at Meadow Brook among the 'regular' guys. He was one of them. Blessings to you and your family. I miss you as well. Take solace in all the good times and memories. I'm sure he's playing golf with a few good friends!!

I have never forgotten him .i have thought of him often over the years.I was very young.And Richie'sdeath moved me deeply.
i have just retired from a long nursing career as a hospice nurse.Richard was one of my great inspirations.
i am very sorry to read of Dick's death.Such a loss for you and your family.You were both amazing beings.Hope his memory is a comfort to you.

I worked with Dick at Enterprise. He had a great smile, an easy going nature and a quick wit. He was a joy and I will miss him. He was affectionately called “The Commander” by co-workers. His humor and good nature will be missed by all of us. May he rest in the boundless beauty of Heaven.
