Derryl Gaspard, Lake Charles, La
I first worked with Dick in the mid-1990’s in the safety profession. We got along well with our similar work ethic and Dick’s quick wit and humor. He was outworking guys half his age and was sure to let them know it. We made a few fishing trips…sometimes in his boat and some in mine, and he swore any fish I caught was due to his direction and superior skill. Only now do I realize that I worked with Dick for most of 20 years. He had a great love for his family and particularly Miss Pauline. I will certainly miss my friend.
