Todd Meier wrote a sympathy message

“Sorry to hear about Dick. He called our motel home from October 1 for about a week every year. We were lucky to fish with him once on the Indian River. My wife made him dinner for a few years along with his hunting crew. He sure got the most out of his life. Todd and Barb Meier, Kennebec, SD”
