Kind, gentle, thoughtful, these are but words to describe a wonderful person who will be missed by all who met him. Dick always had a smile and good word for everyone, he enjoyed a good joke, both telling and hearing one. He had an astounding collection of frogs, and was very knowledgeable in many areas. Dick always knew the right thing to say to make you feel better, and was blessed with a marvelous sense of humor. He always gave freely of his time, and valued being a mentor. Dick will be missed greatly by all who were privileged to know him. His absence from our company causes the sun to shine less brightly today, but as in nature, the rainbow will shine with greater intensity because it will be graced by his being. Leslie Phelps
