Sad news indeed. Dick was the best, what we in Oz would refer to as a real good bloke. R.I.P. Dick.
I was shocked to hear of Dick’s death. He had decades of experience which he shared with everyone, here on DCT.
My sincere condolences to his family.
Dick was a genuinely nice person – something the world could use more of. His family and friends will be in our thoughts and prayers.
R.I.P. Dick Evans!!!!
My condolences to his family. Richard and I have many conversations over the years. His insight and knowledge and contributions will be deeply missed.
Thank you Richard,
Very sad news indeed.
Condoleces to Richard’s family.
From me, he will be missed on DCT.

Hopefully he has access to a very fast PC wherever he is now and he has enabled “God Mode”. Taken way too early.
RIP Richard.
With the deepest condolences to Richard’s family and friends.

Sorry to hear , Deep condolences to his and DCT family too. I was helped many times by his articles. RIP.
Sad to hear about his passing. My condolences to his family.
I sure liked his articles. He’ll be missed for sure. It seems his last article was titled “How To Turn Off The Sleep Button”, on July 21st. His bio reads, “About The Author…Dick Evans has been in the tech industry for more than fifty years. Beginning his career in the ’60s on IBM mainframes, he has been a Programmer, a Data Processing Manager (now called Information Systems Manager), a Consultant, an Assistant Professor, and a Writer. He has been published in a number of computer publications and has spoken at conferences here in the US and abroad. He is currently retired from the faculty at Rhode Island College and consulting/writing part-time, holding teaching seminars, and maintaining a number of Web sites. He maintains a blog with technical “stuff” and has a Web site at rwevans.com.”
I appreciate your helpful articles. RIP fellow computer lover!
