We are sorry to learn of Dick’s passing. Dick was a true gentleman. I will miss the good-natured teasing we put each other through concerning OSU and ND football of which Dick had the better the last dozen years!. Dick was a class businessman as well, both as a vendor and as a customer for advertising specialties. Thanks for the memories, Dick!!
