I recall what wonderful hosts Dick and Anita were to me when visiting Flordia with Rick and Selene.  Dick was an incredible influence on all of us.  His adventurous spirit, his entrepreneurial focus and his independence of thought. I in particular recall the lobster prowess :).  I know he and Rick have always been close and best friends as well as father and son.  The mutual respect they had for one another was truly inspiring.

I am sorry to hear of Dick's passing, and happy to have been able to know him.

The entire Gappen family is in my prayers as you celebrate the incredible life story.
