It was a pleasure to work with Dick when he became United Way Lima campaign chair in 1977. He was still volunteering for United Way in 2012 and that's true commitment to a community and its people. Dennis and I enjoyed time with Dick and Norma with many events in our community. He was involved in so many community programs and leaves a wonderful legacy. Our sincere sympathy to all the family for your loss.

Rest in peace Dick. One of our favorite Lima friends. Had lots of fun times over the years with he and Norma.

My deepest sympathies & condolences to the Riggs family. Knowing Dick professionally through his radio career & my career in television, I had the highest respect for him as a "friendly" competitor. Dick introduced me into Lima Rotary rather late in my years in Lima. We enjoyed working many projects together and he supported me as secretary during my term as President. After my retirement I enjoyed my visits with he & Norma at their home in their later years. May you Rest In Peace & eternally be with your beautiful Norma.
