Been on vacation and heard from friends of Dick's passing.
Wish to extend sympathy to all of Dick's family.
Met Dick at Dofasco and participated in several activities with him. Going back to minor sports with the children, bowling, golf, cards and socializing.
Once again condolences. He will be missed.
