Mike, Annette, and Eva: Dick's life certainly touched mine. He was a mentor and faithful supporter of my campaigns. Above all, I will remember his big heart and open mind. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dick was someone I will never forget. His caring extended far beyond just his patients. He was a mentor to all the physicians and nurses he worked with and loved sharing his knowledge and skills. He was selfless in giving of his own time and energy.
I am forever indebted to Dick and have many fond memories of our time together.
RIP Dr Pearson.

I first met Dick when we attended Riverdale High school in a little government town built up around the Garrison Dam for families who designed and built the dam. Years later, Dick and I became friends again through our class reunions. He was faithful in keeping in touch with former classmates and attending the reunions. Often times, I would get a check in the mail to help pay for the monthly RHS newsletter that I printed. His wonderful memories of high school days and friends were honorable and he was a good friend to many classmates. On behalf of his RHS friends we salute you, Dick, and know you have peace now! Your loving care of people and your concern for your former classmates will long be remembered and a "gift" some of us know personally.
Dr Pearson was one of my first professional friends when I moved to Rogers to practice medicine in 1975. He was a passionate person and always interesting to talk to. He was one of the few physicians that gave of his time to the medical society organization that many of our profession did not appreciate fully as to it's significance. What great memories float by in my mind today.

Annette and Mike,
Back in the late 70s my deceased husband introduced me to your Dad. I knew him to be a man who cared about his patients and who worked hard to help the incoming doctors get to know each other and make the adjustment to NWA. He was an encouragement to those of us who were new to the area.
My prayer for you and your families is that the Lord Jesus will comfort you during this difficult time.
