Body

Belatedly, the class has learned of Rick Dicke's death on May 14, 1995, as a result of a brain tumor.

After graduating from the Hill School, Rick took a postgraduate year at Worcester Academy before entering Princeton. He also attended C. W. Post College in Greenville, N.Y.

He served as counselor with the Nassau County Dept. of Drug and Alcohol Addiction. Gardening was a special interest and a focus of his attention.

Rick's wife, Bernadette, reports that during his illness Rick received extraordinary support from many friends and came to realize how much he was valued by a wide and wonderful variety of people.

Rick is also survived by his father, Richard M. '37. To Bernadette and to his father, the class offers its sincerest sympathy.
