On behalf of myself and the DCA-South Corps, my sincerest condelences to Peggy and the the Pronti family on their loss. Dick, even when being ill over the last few years, was still out representing I&E.
He was a big supporter of the DCA-South Region and our corps', having been Chief Judge at a few of our shows, and has shown up at Corps rehearsals when in the area, giving support, especially to those that were just starting or struggling to stay afloat.
I have had my good and bad with Dick, as happens in this Environment, but even after we have had some strong opinionated discussions through the years,he would not hold grudges. Discussion, make his point .. agree or disagree with yours, then move on and buy you a drink!! Thats was Dick
Rest in Peace my friend.!
