Dick gave me his wood to use for my HO layout! His love for model trains lives on! 

I met Dick in 2018  at a Train Show. He took me on a 40 ,minute tour of the Modules of the Sunrise Division NMRA train club. I remember his enthusiasm for,the "little people" and love for the model trains.

"Well Done, Master Sergeant! Well Done!"

Dick was a gifted teacher even though that was not the career he followed. As an early  implementer of computers in the banking industry, he had that knowledge to share. He also had a wide variety of the many model railroad skills and was always willing to help others with those talents. But most important, he was just a good friend.  I'll be listening Dick when I need a solution for a challenge on my model railroad layout.  

It was always enjoyable listening to Dick talk about the Durango and Silverton train and the Animus River. I had the pleasure of riding the Durango and Silverton train with Dick. He was always fun to work with on the Sunrise modules. We would have a chat session before we worked on the modules. I will always have these fond memories of him.

Dick was a great friend and mentor to us in the model railroading community.  He was instrumental with his contributions to the Rocky Mountain Region (RMR) of the National Model Railroad Association (NMRA), since its inception.  Dick supported the RMR at every level.  In 1977 and 1991, Dick played key roles in arguably some of the best National Conventions in the history of the NMRA.  Dick helped found at least two Divisions of the RMR, here in the Denver area.  Dick was a modeler and a teacher, and always willing to do what he could for his fellow modelers.  We are grateful for Dick being part of our lives and continue with part of his legacy in our own efforts, from his modeling, his teachings and his friendship.  The RMR community will miss Dick deeply, an enormous loss for us.  RIP.

I love you Dick.

You and Jean were such good friends to Jim and I. We had so many wonderful adventures centered around railroads an model railroads.

I will certainly miss you.
