    10 to 1 says he sliced it in that first photo. It’s a Pennington tradition. See you on the the other side brother.

    Dick looks great in that golf picture. We look so much alike it reminded me of me AFTER one of my explosive swings with the ball remaining defiant and undisturbed on the tee.

    As a big brother he was the GOAT.

    I was so sorry to hear of Dicks passing. We had some great fun together over the years, from high school, living in North Carolina and then back in St. Louis. We had some great competition in pool in high school and later in golf. Our condolences to the family and I’ve enjoyed some wonderful memories over the last few days. Sincerely, Mark n Marilyn Jones.

    The Pennington’s moved in next door and we connected as neighbors for over 2 decades. It was a pleasant setting with the 4 children.
    We moved away from each other in the late 90’s. A long relations with countless connections because of his children.
    Miss those years now – so sorry for the family.
    Doug Johnson.

    I was lucky to have Dick as a Brother in Law for over 25 years. Dick was a wonderful role model to his children and Grandchildren. He was a true gentleman. RIP Dick. You are missed!
