So very sad. Dick was truly one of those who made PCA racing great and he'll be sorely missed.

Wow that's terrible news... he seemed fine at Sebring last month.

Dick was one of the guys I looked forward to seeing at the track, since I met him at the first IMSA GT3 cup races in 2005. He was ALWAYS smiling and helpful.

He will really be missed

Don't know if I ever met him, but I suspect I have, and based on what I am hearing from those who I consider as my friends, I am sorry to hear this. RIP

WOW. What an incredible loss to the PCA club racing community. He seemed to be the normal amicable Dick at Sebring. My condolences to his family. Please let us know where to send flowers.

Glen, that's great. I think all the cups at Atlanta should do something like that... maybe get together for a tribute to Dick?

Hear hear.

I'll be doing the same for Pirelli Driver's Cup race at California Speedway, will see if I can get the whole paddock doing the same.

Dick was a truly great guy, always happy, always patient (even when us racers weren't).

My wife and I had the pleasure of spending an amazing evening over dinner with Dick in Salt Lake last year, we'll never forget.

Just noticed this thread.

This is truly sad news and a shock when we learned. Dick was a great guy and one of the primary reasons Nadine became a scrutineer. Always positive, always seemed happy, and really represented Club Racing and PCA very well. PCA has lost a great ambassador, a great person, and a great friend.
