I'm sad to say that fellow Moderator and friend to many of us here on RV.net, Dick A. passed away yesterday.....He fought a long battle with cancer....

I know he met many members at the various rally's that he and his wife Sandi attended throughout the years....

What many don't know is Dick was an integral part of making RV.net what it is today....As I understand....he came on board early on in RV.nets existence and wrote many of the individual forum descriptions that are still in place today.....


Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers....


I will update with any details as they become available.....

How sad....
I am so sorry to hear of us losing one of the finest members RV.Net has ever known.
I have had many many very pleasant exchanges here with Dick over the years. He was truly a wonderful person.
He will be sadly missed.
He and his family will be in my prayers.

Thanks for letting us know.

Sorry to read that, I never met him but thought that he was one of the moderators on here that ruled with a light hand.
