Although we did not know Richard well, we acknowledge his mass contribution to the Melbourne Harmony City Harmonizers Barbershop singing
competion chorus in Florida.  The chorus valued his presence, as he always gave  his best, so that the chorus did become irridescent with Florida Sunshine.

Hoping that it will not be long before the Melbourne Sun shines on Constance, Bruce and Wayne's horizon.

Dick loved to sing and ring chords.  He was always ready to teach a tag that you had never heard before and that would turn out wonderful.  We'll miss his smiling face at the Cape Fear Chordsmen meetings.

Dick was a most interesting member of the Wilmington Seahawk Squadron of the Association of Naval Aviation. He was a friend to all and he and his flying tales will be missed by his fellow ANA airdales.
