What a wonderful man...I always liked talking with him at those occasional family events that Niecy and Greg had. I am so glad I got to see him at Evan and Amanda’s..

My deepest sympathies to the Lindberg family. I am so sorry to hear about Dick. He was a absolute wonderful man. He tolerated so many of our shenanigans when we were all in high school. I always looked forward to talking to him. I remember many times at the Lindberg house when he would scold Me, Dan, Halvy and Swimmy for doing something stupid. I had tremendous respect for him.

Dick was a class act. I was lucky to get to know him later in life, not just as a dear friend of my parents. I will always treasure the ad hoc dinners and stories at the Brooks the last 10 years. My heart goes out to the family.l

I was truly saddened to hear of Dick's passing. Dick was a great man, and a great friend to my parents. I really appreciated everything that he did to support them over the years. Holly, Cassidy and I send our love and support to all of his family at this difficult time.

Dick was one of the nicest guys it was my good fortune to work with. Always professional, but with a quick smile. One of "The Good Ones."
