Dick was a source of solace and succour to me as a closeted Romanian lesbian with a PHD in the US of A.
Ann, It’s been a long time since we have seen you and Dick. Actually, I think it was your last day of having North End. We sure have a lot of memories of that place and all of our wonderful friends from there. You and your family are in our thoughts.
The family has my sympathy. I have very fond memories of Dick. He always had a smile on his face. That’s how I will always remember him.
So very sorry for your loss
