DICK was a wonderful athlete whom I met at the old Flax Pond in 2013. He was always laughing, joking - and killing us all with his spin shots. He was always so positive and let us know that he’d have to help him with scoring. He was always fun to be around and had a smile for us all. I will miss him and remember him fondly.

This so saddens me He was a kind, brave and fun gentleman with whom I always enjoyed a game of pickle ball. Bless him in his peace and you in your grief. I am so sorry, but I was lucky to have known and laughed with him for several years on the courts.
