  • Dick was a great friend. I met him in Mexico. He was like a second father to me. I learned a lot from him, including the English language. He helped me in one of my most difficult moments. I lost contact with him in 1997, and I kept searching for him. I am shocked to learn of his death, but I understand that he lived longer than many people I met. I will never forget him. - Posted by: Jaime Mejia (Friend) on: Sep 02, 2013
