Bill,

This is what I got from Linda Nitz.

In early September Dick became sick and was admitted to the hospital with Covid-19.

He was on the Covid floor with no visitation. He was in the hospital for three weeks. They had to put a pacemaker in him because of Covid.  Dick came home on October first. He was very weak. Dick was home for  two weeks and had to go back to the hospital on October15th. Dick passed away on October 29th 2020.

Dicks death left me with a huge empty spot in my heart. He was my best friend for 65 years.  

Thank you Bob Evans for sharing this information in an email to Bill about our classmate.
