Dick was my mentor at work. He was the best coworker. I knew I could always go to Dick and get help. When we would get that call in the middle of the night to fix a program problem, I'd be in a panic and Dick was always so calm. And he had a great dry sense of humor. I was so fortunate to work with him. Rest in peace, Dick.
