Mary Alice, we're so saddened to hear about Dickie. Because of medical problems we can't attend the services. Know that our hearts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Dickie was an unique person and achieved a lot in his life. We'll miss him.
I believe he's up there right now playing point guard for Adolf Rupp.
