Never have I met a finer gentleman! He had a heart of pure gold! He always went above and beyond for his family, and he always helped people in need. He will be forever missed, but I know God had a special place waiting for him in Heaven.
Toni, Aaron, and Caitie, I am so very sorry for your loss. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I worked with Dick for 22 years at Wasson High School. He was a joy to work with. He was kind and patient with all of his students. He was a remarkable teacher and friend. Dick will be missed.
