His dad was a Dick, so he is a Dick.
His son, though named Richard as well, goes by his first name not Dick or
Richard.

Somehow it doesn't really seem offensive until you think of it that way.
Back in the day it wasn't a bad word. He is FROM back in the day!
Like the old "Dick & Jane" books.

My kids all call him "Chard" from a nickname I gave him. (pronounced
Shard)They obviously are not comfortable calling him Dick. Prolly cause he
is such a great guy.
