While I did not know Dick, I remember him and his family from Coloma Way in Oakland. They lived next door to my Grandmother (Susan Keyes). We lived with my grandmother during WW2, and later visited often. I remember hearing about his basketball skills as well as his sister's ability at ice skating. His parents were extremely nice people and good neighbors.  From my perspective, his was a life well lived.  My condolences to the family.
