Met Dick this summer in the oncology dept at Lakeridge Health.
We had a great chat about our time at GM and our current situations. At that time Dick was doing well.
We are away for the winter and this news comes as an unpleasant surprise. Our deepest sympathy to Dick's family. He was one of the good ones.

My condolences to the family, I will always remember Dick as a kind and generous person, who treated me and others with great respect.

Deepest condolences, Karen and family -
I was very saddened to learn of Dick's passing.  I knew Dick for many years while he was employed at General Motors and EDS.  He was an inspiration to everyone with his wonderful sense of humour and his positive outlook on life.  He always offered words of encouragement and treated everyone with dignity and respect. Dick always spoke fondly of you and the boys and it was easy to see how proud he was of his family.  He will be greatly missed.

Dear Karen, 
Our deepest and most heartfelt sympathy to you and the family. Dick was a wonderful person and a great friend. We will surely miss him.
Love, Harry and Ricky Visser
