Hello-my name is carroll smith. Dick and I were best friends in highschool. Lost contact years ago.  He was a good friend and I consider knowing him was a gift from God. 

I just learned of Dick's passing. I worked for Dick in the early 90's in Illinois. He was a patient, kind, and extremely knowledgable mentor to me as an early-career scientist. I still benefit from knowledge he passed along to me. I still call Silver Maple trees  by Dick's description: "the ubiquitous Acer Saccharinum" as a tip-of-the-hat to Dick.  He was such a neat guy. I wish I had re-connected to tell him he had a good impact on me before I heard this sad news. My sincere condolences.
