I arrived in Lake Placid in 1977 and Dick became one of my first friends. I remember how easy going he was, always smiling and
welcoming to a new arrival like myself. Although 10 years my senior (I was 19), Dick was always accepting, hospitable and sincere. Being new in town during that period was not easy and it was guys like Dick who made me feel as If Id found a home and that I belonged. We enjoyed each others company, we had a lot of fun and I have fond memories of Dick during that period.
God bless you Dick, you played the game the right way, you were a good guy. You've made it to the next level and dont forget to keep the gate open when I arrive. Ill be looking for you pal......
