It's with great sadness to report that my dear friend and colleague, Dick Bourke, passed away last week, Thursday, May 18, 2023.  He had just turned 92 on May 8th. Dick and I literally had lunch just a week prior.  Upon seeing him already seated at the restaurant and approaching him, I asked Dick how he was doing.  He cheerfully replied, “I’m feeling frisky."  That was such a signature Dick reply.  He was always upbeat, enthusiastic, energetic, kind, humble, and non-judgmental.  I never heard him say a negative thing about anyone.
