So sad to hear of his passing. I remember Dickie from the days of The Dolphins Club in Elizabeth City. He was a great dance partner, a handsome young man with a sweet personality. Prayers to your family.
What a great and funny guy! I was searching for Dickie online but haven't seen him since 1974 when we worked at the Port O Call Restaurant in KDH. We are heading to Belize and it seems he had a connection there once. I wanted to ask him a few questions and alas I am too late! I am so sorry to hear about him passing.
