Tue December 20, 2005 My wonderful cousin, Richard. He kept his whole family and friends close at heart with his informative and sometimes humorous emails. I knew when I went online that I would be hearing from him. I am deeply saddened by his untimely death. Richard will be greatly missed.
God Bless!

Wed December 21, 2005 Family and friends,
I served with the "Bear" in Turkey with the Air Force in the late 60's. We formed a veterans group known as VOMIT Veterans Of Misery In Turkey. Over the years Dick was instrumental in keeping us all informed with who was where and what was going on. I was saddened to hear of his untimely death. He had been lobbying for us to have another reunion soon. My prayers are with all of you. May Christ's love ease your pain as you mourn the loss of such a caring brother, father, and friend.
God Bless you all,
Ron Fox
Mount Vernon, OH

Like my buddy Ron Fox, I served with Dick in Turkey. He had a youthful voice, a youthful smile, and a youthful New England way of speaking. All in all, he had a youthful way about him. And this stayed with him all of his life. I could sense it in his correspondence to us over the years. Even though my heart right now is broken, I think of "Bear" carrying that youthful way into eternity with him, and I draw comfort. So, too, should you. God Bless you all.

Thu December 22, 2005 I would like to express how sorry I am on Dick's passing. I was in the Air Force with Dick in Turkey, VOMIT. Will miss his humor, great e-mails, & will remember our good times in the service.

Thu December 22, 2005 I served in the Air Force with Bear in the late sixties. Being also from Massachusetts we formed an immediate bond. He was a good and very caring family man who always kept us up to date on his life with his annual Christmas "letter" and with his many e-mails. When I spoke with him recently he made no mention of any problems so this comes as a shock to me. God bless you, Bear, and my heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.

I am truly saddened at this news. I was wondering why we hadn't heard from him lately, He was the main reason I logged on every day. No matter how bad my day was, there was usually something from Dick that made me laugh or think,and sometimes he got a tear out of me.

He will be missed. My condolences to all.
