I met Dick in 1968 or 69 not long after he returned from Vietnam. We were part of a group of six friends, three guys and three girls, who did what young people did back then who had lots of time and no money. I remember rambling drives in the country, visiting the Avon haunted bridge, and wading in the White Lick Creek at night during a thunder and lightning storm! Dick always had a joke to tell, a hearty laugh, and a smile on his face.
I met Dick years ago at Pat’s. I knew his brother J.R I never called him Richard and he Nevermind me call him Dick R.I.P. I will see you down the road
Dick, the only guy who could make something ordinary turn into something super funny or special. Met him through my then husband Charlie. Met his parents and family who were really great people. We had some great times, I will always cherish the times we all shared. RIP my funny friend.
