“That would’ve been such fun, and we lost it. I’ve lost a lot of friends,” Dick confessed, via People.

“He’s outlived everybody,” Arlene chimed in. “That’s the curse of living to almost 100.”

Explaining the secret of his optimistic mindset, Dick admitted “Well, life’s been good to me,”.

“I can’t complain,” he added.
