Dick was my grandfather, he was always a lot of fun to be around.  He had a tremendous sense of humor, we had many laughs together.  What I appreciated about him is that he always asked about me, he was always thinking about others.  Also, he was in high spirits, he appreciated life and always said he was doing well.  My best memories with him were watching football and baseball games, his excitement level was through the roof when David Ortiz hit a home run.  It is a devastating loss, but I will never forget any of the magical moments we had together.
