Sad news indeed.

 

Sad to hear this. Always enjoyed stopping by his booth in Louisville and shootin the breeze. R.I.P. buddy.

 

Very sad news but know that he's in a better place.

 

I'm just going to repost this...

The Japanese have a category for people with very high levels of knowledge of traditional skills and practices, the arcane knowledge that carries on a bit of culture into the future..."Living National Treasure."
Dick fits that category right here...his knowledge of old Fords, racing tech, and traditional chassis are unsurpassed and a treasure of traditional performance culture, and he has always shared freely.

There it is. A big piece of our human heritage is gone. RIP.

 

Very sad to hear this. What a great contributor to the hobby. RIP

Well if this is an official lost another one thread and Dick is really gone I am very sad to hear it. Some times you know someone in passing and have had a chance to glean knowledge from them and even the occasional how do you do and that is a great loss when they are gone. I will miss the opportunity to share in his knowledge.

It is a far greater loss for those who actually have close personal knowledge of them and their lives are intertwined. I am saddened for them, and will keep them in my thoughts. If you are one of those people my condolences.

 

Very sad to hear. R.I.P.
