It is with deep regret that we announce the recent death of Richard W. Lamkin, partner in charge of our office- in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Dick was one of the first employees of George Bailey & Company, having joined the Detroit office of that predecessor firm in June 1947, after his graduation from the Graduate School of Business Administration of the University of Michigan. After spending five years in Detroit he opened our office in Grand Rapids. He headed that office as a manager until 1961, at which time he was admitted into the partnership. During the early years of the Grand Rapids office, Dick nurtured our initial modest practice and, as he and the firm became better and better known to the business community, added significant new clients. He was active in many of the functions of the Michigan Association of CPAs, chairing important committees and serving as president of the Western Chapter of the Association in 1960. He was also active in other accounting organizations and in trade and industry associations. Dick made significant contributions to civic affairs in Grand Rapids. A past president of Junior Achievement of Grand Rapids, he was currently treasurer of the Grand Rapids Symphony Orchestra, treasurer of the John Ball Park Zoological Society, chairman of the Government Finance Committee of the Grand Rapids Chamber of Commerce and a member of the board of his golf club. He was slated to be the next president of The Pen Club, a leading businessmen's club in Grand Rapids, and last year was named Grand Rapids V.I.P. of the week by the leading local daily newspaper. Dick's sparkling personality won him a host of warm friendships throughout the firm. He is sadly missed by all of us. Our loss is second only to that of his lovely widow, Gloria, and of his children, Dick, Jr., 10; Jeffrey 4; and Lisa, 2. 48 A Memorial by William S. Harter
