The Grateful Dudes are deeply saddened and shocked by the sudden loss of our good friend Dick. We were blessed to have had him in our band for the past several years. His masterful mandolin playing, sharp humor, and warm friendship will be missed by all of us.

He was a musical hero of mine. I had heard him on recordings years before knowing him personally. When he started playing with us, I felt so honored to be making music with a musician of his caliber. He was an inspiration to me and the guys in the band. When he stepped up to take a break it was like going on a wild ride. His great wit was even present in his playing with surprising interjections of incongruous snips of well known melodies which made us all do double-takes. I can't imagine being on stage, looking to my right, and not seeing him there. I'm proud to have been able to call him my friend. Goodby buddy.
