Dear Marcy and family,
Gloria and I were stunned to hear of Dick's passing thanks Joe for finding my e_mail address in your father's computer files.
As you know, Dick and I worked together for years at both Bendix and Ford. During that time I came to consider him to be my best friend. Later our career paths separated and geography helped keep us physically apart, but we stayed in touch sporadically.
Our last exchange of notes was in July. I reminisced with him about the summer long ago during which Gloria and I with our two young sons shared a cottage on Keuka Lake with Dick, Marcy, and a young Joe and Steve. The time we spent together was possibly the very best, most relaxing vacation I have ever enjoyed. I can still picture Dick, the master of the charcoal grill, cooking up chicken and pork chops while the other adults enjoyed some local wine country product and the boys played near the beach.
Dick never mentioned health problems to me in recent years and so his passing came as a surprise. I will forever treasure our friendship and will miss him, his wise counsel and his wonderful sense of humor.
With deepest sympathy for your loss,
Bill Marlett
