John Hicks says
Richard was always a kind and gentle soul. It was a pleasure to work with him for a short time.
Dave Ebert says
I worked with Dick way back in the days of San Fernando Fire; I left before the transition and continued my fire service career with the State of California. Sorry to hear of his passing, RIP.
Bill Binder says
Like Dave Ebert, Dick and I go back to our days on the San Fernando Fire Dept. He could be serious at times but those times were few. He enjoyed a good gag (often at his expense) and then laugh until tears came in his eyes. He was a very friendly person, liked and enjoyed people. I’m saddened to learn of his passing.
