I’m sure he was heartbroken the marathon was canceled.

These guys did triathlons with Dick pulling Rick in a rowboat.
They did a bike ride across the USA.

I've watched the Marathon at various places along the course and always got a bit emotional when the Hoyts went by.

RIP Dick.

My bike ride today took me thru Hopkinton center where this statue at the Center School is.
