I worked with Dick for many years at SNET and we shared many laughs. He was a very nice person and will be missed. Andy Wagner
Lynn and Cathy, and Fanny Lou- I so many great memories of your family and your father specifically from so many summers at the Woodbridge Club. He was always such a nice man. I am sorry that I can’t tell you in person, but I wanted to let you know I was saddened to read his obituary in the paper. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time. I hope you are comforted by having your family all together. Sincerely, Willa Ridinger
Recently went through this myself Cathy, so I understand and feel for you, your sister and whomever else. Please know I’ll offer a little prayer for you, yours and your Dad.
So sorry, I was unaware of Dick’s passing. I worked for Dick at SNET in the 80’s, one of the best bosses I ever had. I’ll always remember him. My sincerest condolences.
