We met Dick as members of the North Shore Tennis Club. He mentored our son, Dillon, as he was court manager for a few summers. He had a heart for helping others and doing so humbly. His gentle and easy going nature was always nice to be around and he had a significant influence on our son, who had so much respect for him and the spirit in which he conducted himself. We definitely were blessed by knowing him.

Richard and Phoebe were my classmates at Gesu grade School. Richard was widely popular being smart, athletic, and good looking. Great all around guy who excelled at everything he did. Lived on Warrington and Curtis, I would walk past his house every school day. God Bless RIP. He will be missed.
Dick and Phoebe were classmates at Gesu, and Dick at UD High. While I wasn't a close friend, Dick was a friendly, generous fellow, with that smile and warmth. Condolences to Phoebe and the family.
