I apologize to Edith, Ken and David that it has taken me so long to post this. I am normally a good writer. I have been trying to write this, but keep deleting the drafts because they fail so much at expressing what I feel. Dick was my very first boss after I got my MBA. That was one of the best things that happened in a life that has been truly blessed in so many ways. Dick was only 7 years older than me, a difference that seemed huge when I was 23, but became insignificant when I was 70. From my 23 year-old perspective, Dick became second only to my father in the impact he had on my life with his teaching, training and, most of all, examples of how things were meant to be done. Dick was an amazing role model in an amazing number of ways. I have been more successful in my life than I expected and, frankly, I give a ton of the credit for that to Dick. He was there with advice when I needed it. There with sympathy and encouragement when I needed those. But, mostly, he was always there as a role model when I hit a challenge and needed to choose the right path. The question, “What would Dick Bryan do?” always led me to the right choice. That has proven true in business and in all other aspects of my life. I am not a perfect man by far, but I am so much a better man for just the knowing of Dick. So much for the respect part, there is also the fact that Dick was one of the wittiest people I have ever known. A very dry sense of humor delivered by a guy whose brain generally worked at warp speed. I think some people were so awed by Dick that they may have missed some of this. Then there is the caring and the courage. Bruce Miller did a wonderful job of reporting that here, so I will not repeat. I am so glad that Dick and I were able to move past boss/subordinate to friends. When I think about it, that is also what I did with my Dad. I’m hoping that the things I learned from those two relationships have allowed me to create similar bonds with my sons, and that I have passed down to my sons the many valued things I learned from Dick. The world is a much diminished place without Dick among us. He was an amazing man! I am going to miss him so much! But I am also so grateful he no longer has to endure the horrible things he fought so bravely in his last months. Brad Morgan
