Dick had many sides to him, the crazy, demanding artist that would hit you if you were not loading film fast enough or kick an art director out for asking a stupid question (Is there going to be detail in the black?) but also the compassionate human that called  me about a hundred times while my wife was in labor with our first child. I think that is why he was so good, yes he had talent and yes was at the right place at the right time, and most certainly yes he had amazing drive, but most of all it was his perfect balance between demanding artist and compassionate human.  For all that, I count myself incredibly lucky to have spent almost five years with him.
