Hi,
I was Dick's "birthday buddy"... born the same day, same year. At UL, he was a mentor to many in his work ethic and dependability and was known for his willingness to search out answers.
It was a shock to learn of his death; I am sure that had we known sooner, many from UL would have attended his services.
Please accept my sincere condolences

I just found out about Dick's passing. His contributions to UL over his long career, and his passion for golf was truly special. When he decided to take up the game of golf several years ago, Dick jumped in with both feet, often attending golf academys to learn. That was Dick in my eyes. Focused and dedicated. This was truly a loss to UL, and all of the friends that Dick made along the way.
