Chris Baumohl called me this afternoon with this shocking news, which news I'm still trying to comprehend. I first met Dick at the Southern Side x Side where he was a regular attendee and had become a "fixture" at the event. We enjoyed lots of great conversations over these many years, and he and Chris and I enjoyed many evenings where we'd talk Smith guns and swap tall tales till the wee hours. Dick will always be remembered for his enthusiastic support of the LCSCA and as an encourager to all of us who worked he events he attended. Dick will be missed for a lot of reasons, but most of all for the fact that he made the lives of those who knew him better. May God's peace and grace be with his family and friends as they adjust to his loss.
