One of the great guys. Loved running the Dam to Dam and other races with him. A true joy to be around. Condolences to the family. Sorry I couldn't be there. Just got back from Canada and heard the news.

Dick was an enjoyable person to work with.
He never let things bother him or get upset about work.
Someone would ask me where Dick was, I would simply reply he is taking one of little Alzheimers trips. We dont know where he goes or when hell be back. I would turn and say well there he is now. He would just smile and rock back and forth on his heels.
He will be profoundly missed.

I have known Dick since 1981. He was such a good, kind man. Dick was smart, caring, listened, and always took care of his customers.
We will keep Christie and her family in our thoughts and prayers.
