Don and I were saddened to hear of Dicks's passing. We met Dick at the Wellnes Center when he was shuttle dispatcher. Always a very pleasant gentleman I looked forward to seeing his smiling face on Monday afternoons when we came to the Wellness center. My thoughts and prayers are with his family at this difficult time. Sincerely Darlene Collier
