Del Tacconi, Utah State '62, knew Dick for 10
years, and remembered the lasting commitment
and love he had for the chapter. "He would call
me every few weeks and always wanted to know
how Alpha Beta was doing. I took him to all
the alumni steak dinners and he really enjoyed
interacting with the brothers. He was a true
example of what it means to be a member of
Sigma Chi and was a testament to the strength
of the Alpha Beta brotherhood. Dick was one of
the best Sigma Chis I have ever known."
A recipient of the Order of the Constantine, Dick
entered Chapter Eternal on August 30, preceded
by his loving wife. He is survived by his two sons,
five grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.
