Bob Murray Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 RIP Dick you will be missed. I enjoyed getting to know him with his time with the Caballeros. A true gentleman. He is now in heaven with all the other Drum corps greats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geneva Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I knew Dick from my earliest days in the Appleknocker organization in the 1960's. His passion for the activity and his giving nature are part of the reason that drum corps has endured and thrived through the years. Thanks, Dick and RIP.

MSJ Snare Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 From Mighty St. Joe's; our sincere and heartfelt condolences go out to Dick's family during this very difficult time. Dick has had so many connections with so many of our members over the years. The one I remember the most was in '70 when he stepped up and took over the position mid-season as our Appleknocker's DM when I'm quite certain he was just a bit over 21 (27 I'm thinking, oh well!)... it was a toss-up between Dick and Ace and I guess Dick just looked a little younger! Thanks Dick for all you have done for the drum corps world. God's speed and may you rest in peace with all of our drum corps family who have gone before you.
