Daniel Schafer (1963)
Dick’s best friend, Stan Harn, contacted me to say that Dick had died. We weren’t surprised as he has been suffering from pancreatic cancer and has been in the hospital for quite a while. As you probably remember, Dick was a gentle soul and a funny guy to be around. I was fortunate to be one of his many friends. Our little CHS core group (Dick, Stan, Phil Lacy, me) shared a table at our 50th reunion and we had a blast seeing each other again and circulating among our classmates. Dick’s death is a loss for everyone who knew him and he will be missed.
