Dick was a special man. He had all the reasons in the world to be arrogant based on all of his accomplishments, but he was just the opposite. I had the good fortune to meet him a couple of years ago in Tulsa. Dick had been racing cars it seems like forever but still seemed in good shape and young at heart. It was one the best experiences I have had in this Cobra "hobby".

He took time to tell my dad about how his car came to be number 198, and that he was unofficially clocked at just over 200 in the same race.

What a great loss for his family, and the world of car enthusiasts of all types.
