Saddened to hear of Dick's passing. We shared many fun times together as friends in the 1950's. The intervening years had us going in different directions. However, time has not diminished my positive memories of good times with a good friend. My condolences to Anneliese and all of the Todd family and friends. - Posted by: John Rendall (Friend) on: Dec 26, 2016
