I just found out that Dick had passed away after reading it in the Steamfitters Local 449 Newsletter. I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Dick at Service Equipment Co. in Pittsburgh for about 8 years. He trained me in Ammonia Refrigeration work and pretty much taught me everything I know about it. I always liked him and his odd sense of humor and his jokes (...And the duck said: put it on my bill - was one of my favorites) I know he will be missed. I regret not keeping in touch with him more.
