Dick and I played on the Windom Park hockey team.  Dick’s scoring prowess took us to the Mpls city championship game. We lost touch over the years but we were able to link up and talk at length during  a Pillsbury Elementary School reunion.  So very sad to hear of his passing.  My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

I miss my "baby brother" and think about him often. I was so happy I was able to spend time with him celebrating my 80th birthday. We played games and pickleball and had some good talks and hugs. Dick was a wise person and I listened to what he said. He also gave the best "10 pound" hugs ever. Rest in peace Dick. And say hi to Lisa and Mother. Your positive energy was a delight to be around. All my love, Patty

My fondest memories of Dick and Lisa are-" 3 GOOD BUDDIES IN A BOAT"  Rest in Peace Dickey and catch lots of Walleye in Heaven with Lisa!!!!!!!
Love you, Brother Jim.

My condolences to your family.  Dick will be missed.  My daughter and I always enjoyed Dick's company when we fished at Shangri-la in the spring.

Dick was my sponsor for the last 8+ years. We would meet 1-1 every week and go to meetings together.  He he lped me through the twelve steps of AA to become the husband, father, friend and co'worker I am today. I am blessed beyond words for the opportunity that God gave me to have His light shine down through him. He will be greatly missed.  I will never forget the wisdom he has taught me.  I Love you brother- until we me meet again in heaven.

Time spent watching a live game at the stadium.
