So many people have said so eloquently what I would have liked to say, so I don't have much to add except that I am glad I have made your acquaintance here at The SoundHole, and I wish I could have met you in person.

Just got around to reading this, as I wanted to take the time to carefully read it all. (I was away on a cruise and have since been catching up.) Terrible news, Dick. You have been so positive through all of this. Prayers for you and your family to get through this with the strength that you have had all along.

Dick, I haven't had the pleasure of meeting you but I wish you well. We all face the same fate. The best we can hope for is to be at peace with it, and you seem to be.

I am late to the message board here Dick. Like some of the others here, I have not had the good fortune to have met you in person, but I have appreciated many of your posts, and it seems that those of your many friends here who have gotten to know you speak glowingly of you. My thoughts are with you and your family.

I think about you every day, Dick. We have not met but I feel like we have. I guess that is thanks to the magic of the Soundhole. Who said this forum is good for nothing??

Just sitting here, waiting for Sunnie to finish his bath, thinking about the upcoming IJ...
And it brought to mind a memory, a very find memory, from last year. Sitting in the Cobblestone lobby with Dick. Playing away. Late into the night.
Most of the party had broken up. My memory is pretty cloudy thanks to Russell and his whiskey, but it seems to me we were at it until well after two.
What a great way to spend an evening, and what a testament to this place that two guys who in some ways couldn't be more different found common purpose on a late night in Vinton.
Thank you, Mr. Thaxter. That was as good as it gets.

I've been away from SoundHole for some time and didn't know about this until now. Dick, I very much enjoyed meeting you last year at Ijam. I'm so sorry to hear this news. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Dearest Dick
With tears in my eyes and heavy heart I too am just reading this. I was so glad to have met you last year at IJam. As Marshall quoted, this is a time when there are sighs just too deep for words.
My prayers are for peace for you and your family as you travel this road. God bless you all.

Dick, you are in my thoughts this weekend. I really appreciated meeting you last year. You had a kind and studied demeanor, which radiated a deep calm. I hope these days weeks and months are peaceful for you.
