Dick started his career early as one of the more popular personalities attending Dear East High. His classmates will no doubt remember him fondly and miss him often. He was definitely a "memory maker", and those staying in and around Des Moines were treated to his communication skills for many glad years.

Dick has always had a special place in my heart. He was a great supporter of my athletic achievements and followed my career with interest. I will always remember our "little talks" and the encouraging words we shared with each other.
The world was a better place with him in it.
