Very sad news no doubt. I visited with Dick @ TSS on April 16th, he shared with me what was going on in his life, I asked is there anything that I can do, he said no, he just wanted to attend as many races that he could this year," I don't want anyone feeling sorry for me, it's getting close to my time to go, when I'm gone I want everyone to have a party and drink a beer for me".
I never saw him that he didn't have a smile and a handshake and he'd ask do you guys have seats. Last week a friend of mine asked me if I wanted to go to Kokomo with him Sunday, I said sure, see some racing and talk to Dick as I knew he would be there. We got to see him but he wasn't well at all.
A good guy and a great friend to a lot of people, and as we all know, he Loved Sprint Car Racing.
Gods Speed to You Big Dog, May You Rest In Peace.
