Dear Nancy and Gordon Family,
I am very sorry for your loss. I knew Dick as my Professor at Penn State, he was a member of my doctoral committee. First and foremost he was a kind man, and always constructive. He was an inspiration to me and countless students because of his intelligence, his accomplishments, his perseverance, and his work ethic. He was a devoted professor and mentor to so many—a treasure in every sense of the word.
