Dear La Verne, I am so sorry to learn about Dick. He truly brought a great deal of joy and laughter into my life, and I looked forward to seeing him every day at work. Even now, all these years later, I always speak fondly of him and he brings a laugh with his memory. I hope you'll know you're in my thoughts as is Dickie. "The Hughie Man"
