I was saddened to learn of Dick’s passing and began to recall first meeting him in 1993 while working under his guidance in the electrical shop. His kindness and genuine concern for his coworkers became readily apparent and made for a really good work environment. There were some real characters that sorely tried Dick’s patience at times (I may have been one of them), but he was always fair and evenhanded in response. His compassion for others I experienced firsthand with the concern and encouragement he offered me after the passing of my wife in 1996. To Dick’s family, I pray that pain of the loss will be lessened with the knowledge that he made this world a better place for many others.

Although it’s been almost 20 years since I retired from the school board, I’ll always remember Dick as a kind, compassionate, and thoughtful person. His Christian values and life are a tribute to him and all who knew him. God certainly let His light shine upon him . Elaine Runkle

Dick was one of the greatest people I've met in my life, he gave me inspiration to do the best I could do during under his watch. He was an truly amazing friend and co worker and Boss, the world has lost a truly a human being. I always looked up to Dick as my brother that I losted as a young kid and he always pointed me in the right direction. GOD bless him and now he's with his soul mate Farris. We shall meet again.
