I was an altar boy at St. James when it was in Del Mar, in 1965, when I first met then Father Dickie. His homilies, his voice, his wisdom made a mark. I attended Uni after interviewing with him in 1968. He could reach my dad's heart in a way no other priest could. He influenced many a Catholic youth for decades, and has a warm place in many hearts. God rest his soul.Larry Boggeln, MDUSDHS Class of '72
Just heard the news about Msgr Dickie's passing. What a gentle and generous man. He was a pillar in the Worldwide Marriage Community. 10 years ago we lost our presenting priest 2 days before the weekend in Las Vegas and I called him in desperation that we have to cancel the weekend and in his typical style he said "Jim I don't travel", begged him to come and an hour later he said "pick me up at the airport in the morning". what blessed and giving man. He will be missed. Jim Carr Reno, NV
