My sincere condolences to all of Dick’s family on his passing. I remember Dick as one of the first persons who made me feel a part of this area when I first came to work in Schenectady, and most all thank him for getting me into the M&P Golf League back in 1990. Since then we always looked forward to league matches together. For the last few years Dick was my playing partner in our league’s outings, and I now treasure even more those special times. Besides golf, we went to a few AMSE/STLE tours together, and I still have a picture he took at the Mechanicville Hydroelectric Plant that we toured a few years ago hanging in my office. I could even count on him helping with my own job, where one league night we were matched together, and on one tee I mentioned a bearing issue I was working on, and low and behold, a couple days later I get a letter from Dick with a paper he wrote years back outlining the cause and solution. He enjoyed talking about his family’s activities and always asked about mine. Dick, you’ll be missed, but always remembered. Dan Fitzmorris
