Ron and I visited with Amelia and Dick at the 
Network of Spiritual Progressives in Minnesota at 
the Voting Justice, Voting Hope Conference last 
April. Dick and Amelia were among the organizers 
for the conference.The conference was wonderful 
and it felt like "home." This morning the NSP in 
Minnesota offered this tribute to Dick, to the membership.

Hello My Friends,

It is with great sadness that I write to inform 
you that this past Saturday Dick Kroeger died 
from a heart attack.  Dick was a passionate 
member of our organization, believing deeply in 
the principles put forward by Rabbi Michael 
Lerner, and in our own chapters ability to create 
great change in this world.  He was a key 
organizer for both the Midwest Conference of 
Spiritual Progressives and Generosity Sunday, and 
was just finishing up his second year of service 
on the Steering Team.   He took on the task of 
tracking our membership, and he began the monthly newsletter earlier this year.

Tonight we have our regular monthly 
meeting.  There will be time for those who wish 
to come and honor his life and his work with our 
organization.  We will all miss his dedication, 
his energy, his passion, and his deep resounding 
voice calling us to a higher place.  It was a 
deep honor to have known him and have worked with 
him.  He will be sorely missed in all that we do.

In memoriam,
