Just found out about Dick's passing. We remember him well from the "old days' at Skaffles restaurant in Brooklyn in the 1980's. I played golf with Dick, his friends from his advertising agency and the guys from Skaffles one summer. Also remember giving Dick a hard time about the new Mercedes he had just bought-----and double parked right in front of Skaffles! Dick was one of the great characters----always enjoyed being with him.
We wish you the best.

Two months ago today, and the shock remains. I am forever grateful for my years with this zany, creative, brash, hilarious, generous, sensitive, practical, full of the love of life and love of those around him, one in a billion man. He brought all of these qualities to my life, and I am proud to have been his wife.
