I worked with Dick for many enjoyable years at Area One Burglary Chicago P.D. Detective Division. He was a good friend and will truly be missed. I shall always smile when thinking of him and the fun times we had on our Journey in Life together as co- workers. Please except my heart felt condolence, I was in Florida and just heard of his passing.

Wow...what a life Grandpa lived!With 5 girls, know wonder he had all that grey hair! So many memories - I loved when he'd tell stories of his days as a police officer or WWII. He was a great grandfather and will truly be missed.
