  Then there was baseball and wine. Dick loved the sport and followed the Mariners after he moved back to the US in 2015. In his final years, he and Jane would not miss a game. And wine? It was an extension of his travels, one of his favorite things was to pour a glass of red, save the cork and take a mini trip down memory lane reflecting on the countries and the grapes with any of us who would listen."
