Never had the pleasure of meeting Dick in person, just knew him through our emails.

 

He was always very helpful and positive in our correspondence.

 

Sad to hear of his passing. My condolences to his family.

I've do not know him. But what I know is that life is such a curious thing.

 

Somehow I see life as connections between us, every moment that we have made something good with somebody else creates one connection, that remains "flashing" as we can remember.

It may sound like foolish, but I see my own life like this. If I can make such connections with other people, I will be alive in their memory. And in the moment I could not be remembered, somehow I have passed away.

 

I wish peace in the heart of him family.

Very sad news. Condolences to the family.

I never met him, but always hoped to in order to thank him in person for getting me a replacement nib and feed -- for FREE -- on my first Noodler's Konrad when I accidentally borked the original nib (got the blind cap stuck inside the cap and then tried to screw the cap back on ) when I contacted Noodler's to find out where to buy another nib. And this was on a Sunday -- and on a holiday weekend, no less.

Definitely a loss.
