My wife, Shannon, and I shared a wonderful friendship with Dick and Annette for 25 years, although we have grown apart since we moved to Oregon 15 years ago, we still remember them both fondly and will miss Dick.
Dick was important to me as a mentor, colleague, and positive example of excellent surgical practice when I first moved to Flagstaff in 1980 as a new surgeon to the community. Dick was also a prominent Board member of MICA and involved me in the organization as well to ensure that the physicians of northern Arizona would be represented. We enjoyed many hours together traveling to meetings and discussing all sorts of matters, from politics to hospital issues to horse breeding! I will miss his sharp mind, his compassion, and his sense of humor.
Rest well Dick.
