It is with great sadness that we inform you that Dick passed at 2AM this morning.

"His daughter Darlene had called yesterday to inform me [Tommie] that his time was short as he had recently lost the ability to swallow. He was in hospice, had a private nurse, was on morphine, and so was in a place of comfort."

He was 84 years young and had been BCI member #1474 since March 1991, when he came to ride with BCI with some of his OCW friends.

Dick's daughter Darlene has announced that the family has decided to have a private family memorial dinner in the near future.

If anyone would like, she invites you to send a note of special memories that she will gladly share at the dinner.

You can send her your pictures & memories of Dick, via Dick@BikeIrvine.org

BCI will especially remember Dick at our Jersey Ride & lunch on August 6th; bring your photos, memories & stories to share and comfort each other in our loss.

"I am sure there are many members who have known him through the years as a fun loving and warm hearted man… he will be dearly missed."

Tommie Kozlov
