I found out about Dickie's death yesterday, and wanted to share it on here for anyone that knew him. Dickie served a lot at school athletic events in Collin County and at our church as a security officer. He and his wife of 38 years were killed in a house fire. The cause is still under investigation, but it looks to be lightning related. They were married 38 years.

I was not a personal friend, but talked with him every week at church, and always enjoyed our conversations. Everyone I have talked to that knew him has shared similar accounts, as he really was a guy who cared about the people he served. He would talk with adults and children alike, giving special attention to everyone.

PM me if you would like more information regarding arrangements, donation info, etc., and I will share what I hear as I get it.

Very sad. Hope they died of smoke inhalation. I couldn't imagine being burned alive.

Tragic.
