My condolences. I had the pleasure of playing Pickleball with Dick over the last few years. Great guy and always fun to play with.

DICK was a wonderful athlete whom I met at the old Flax Pond in 2013. He was always laughing, joking - and killing us all with his spin shots. He was always so positive and let us know that he’d have to help him with scoring. He was always fun to be around and had a smile for us all. I will miss him and remember him fondly.

This so saddens me He was a kind, brave and fun gentleman with whom I always enjoyed a game of pickle ball. Bless him in his peace and you in your grief. I am so sorry, but I was lucky to have known and laughed with him for several years on the courts.

Nancy, So sorry to hear of your loss. He was a great pickleball player who brought many ideas an suggestions to the sport. He will be missed by the Pickleball Community, and the community at large.

Thinking of you and praying for you. So many nice memories. Beautiful obituary. Love you and will be in touch. Love Connie, Marylou and Joanne.

So sorry to hear of Dick's passing. I enjoyed playing softball with him. My first year playing on the CC league, Dick was a great supportive teammate. He always had a friendly greeting for everyone. Our sincere sympathies to the family. Jim and Suzanne Fleming
