I miss him too. We all knew that he was in bad shape and had hoped for a positive outcome. Unfortunately, that was not the case.

I first met Dick at "The Big June Bash"...a GTG I hosted at the dealership I was working at. He was one who could get along with anyone...noted for his love of trucks...especially his "Mistress"...his love of good food and beer...especially beer...and...his great sense of humor!!! I personally will miss him greatly. RIP Dick!!!

It did sound promising...maybe his ex wife was looking at the glass as half full. I know that Dick was frustrated with his declining health...he's not at peace...pain free.
