Sad to hear. Nice guy. Remember talking to him about Top Stock at Indy and he gave us all T-SHIRTS!!

Around 2006 and 2007 I talked to Dick about Top stock, he was very passionate about getting it moving forward. We had some very long conversations and it was a pleasure to know him. Prayers to all his family.
