He'll be remembered for different things by different people. But I think his generosities over the years far outweigh more recent contentious issues.

The word is that on his death bed he renounced his Carlton faith and coverted to a Pies fan 8)

RIP Dick, 74 years is a good innings.

As mentioned before, my dad unfortunately died this year aged 73. Speaking from personal experience it's still way too young.

RIP
