Dick was a great mentor and I am proud to be able to say I worked with him. Pat, Myself and all the staff at Boreal will miss him.
Dickie, I’ll forever remember our day trips to Middleburg for lunch especially one trip where,on the drive back, I covered one eye in order not to see double and you cautioned me that it was a dead giveaway to cops. Oh well!
