I just wanted to share a few words about Dick. Everything people say about him is absolutely true — he had such kindness and a down-to-earth, folksy way that made you feel like you were talking to a favorite uncle or grandpa.
Hearing how he helped rescue those girls from the flood says so much about who he was. As a Boy Scout, I loved camping and always felt bad that the girls didn’t have the same chances for those kinds of adventures. Creating those opportunities at Camp Mystic is special — it matters.
This loss feels even closer to home for me because my own neighborhood near Sandy Creek lost lives in the July 4th flood. People like Dick remind us there’s still so much good in the world, especially in the hardest times.
I hope people keep telling what Dick did that day — how he put his own life at risk to help others. He was one of many heroes whose quiet courage made all the difference when it mattered most. Those stories deserve to be remembered and shared, so we never forget the strength and kindness shown in the hardest moments.

Dear Tweety and Eastland families, Have been praying for you many times a day since July 4th. This former riding staff counselor loves you all and is lifting you and our Mystic families up to the Lord. If you need ANYTHING, please don’t hesitate to call. I’m retired and can push a broom & help with clean-up once you reach that point. You are so loved. Ask anything of us, your Mystic family, & we’ll do anything to help you. - Kathy

Dear Tweety and family, we are so sorry for your loss. We are praying for you all and for all of those lost and missing. Dick and you were an inspiration and positive influence for my daughters, Alexis & Lindsey in the mid 90's when they attended Camp Mystic. We are ever so grateful for your presence in their lives.

The love for your family hopefully can bring some comfort. You and Dick did as much as her dad and I did in making Virginia the young woman she is today. Don’t ever forget the life-changing camp that Mystic has always been.

Precious Tweety and family. My heart is breaking for all of you. I was a camper from 1947-1951 and a counselor-ette 1952. At age 90 my memories of Mystic are still of the happiest time of my childhood. I pray for our Lord Jesus to hold you, comfort you, and give you peace.
