He was a humble man who preferred to stay in the background. He gave his best to those he loved, especially my mom, his beloved Betsy. He was my hero.

My deepest sympathy to Dickey's family. I will always think of him and smile. He was so laid back and such a nice man!

I only met Dick on a few occasions. But he was always friendly and genuine. My Mom worked with Betsy at Candler Hospital for many years. Condolences to the family.

Uncle Dick was a formidable presence in my childhood, I loved spending time with him and Aunt Betsy. His laugh was the best.
