He was also an FAA Certified Flight Instructor, Helicopter pilot, Parachutist, and a Master Parachute Rigger. He was always flying "in the Company of Eagles," as he put it.

Here is a portion of the note from his wife:

Just a short note to let you know that Dick passed away Sunday morning the 28th at 2 am. He suffered a massive stroke and didn't recover and was in no pain.

We are in the process of getting the necessary paperwork done for him to be buried at Arlington National Cemetery. It was his wish to be cremated by the Neptune Society. I will try to keep you informed as to when the service will be. We will also have a memorial service in CA. for him at a later date.

It is a huge loss for us and we are coping the best we can.

Until later with more news,

Janet

Thanks for this, Dick was my mentor and friend. I jumped with Janet on her tandem. I'll definitely miss him.

and I'd appreciate anything you hear about services in California.
