This email is being sent to everyone in Dick Johnson's address book in
hopes of reaching as many of his friends as quickly as possible. As you know Dick Johnson loved few thing better than flying his sailplane. He went flying this Wednesday and he was killed when his sailplane went down shortly after takeoff. We think the reason for the crash was probably not an aircraft failure but rather a medical event of some sort.
A memorial service will be held 3:30pm Tuesday July 29, at Restland Funeral Home in Richardson. The address is 9220 Restland Rd at Greenville Ave. 75080. Phone number is 972-238-7111.
