Condolences to Dick’s family for this terrible loss. He was a longtime friend of mine. I will miss running into him playing his guitar and singing “Under the Boardwalk” for me.
He was a wonderful Soul and will truly be missed my many many friends and fans. Rest peacefully my friend 🙁
Dickey was a super nice guy, always talked to you, never had a bad thing to say about anyone. I’m glad I knew him in the time I’ve been down in this area.
Everyone at Randy’s Roost gives you a salute & thank you for being you.
Rest in Peace my dear old friend. Remembering the good old days, you will be missed !
Dick liked everyone and everyone liked him. He can now add one more to “I’ve been everywhere man, I’ve been everywhere” glad his travels included Randy’s Roost.
The world will be a darker place without Dick in it. RIP dear friend.
Oh Dick we always treasured our friendship with you and looked forward to seeing you every summer. Lake George won’t be the same without you. Fly high brother, you sing and play for the stars now.
I was so shocked to read about Dicks passing. He was an awesome guy. Enjoy his music when I lived in NY. And enjoyed when he played with Country Express and with my late husband Robbie Keech. My condolences to his family. R.I.P Dick
