Dick Wilkins

In the Novella, A Christmas Carol, the Ghost of Christmas Past takes Scrooge to his former workplace, Fezziwig's, where Scrooge and Dick were both apprenticed. He is a minor character with very little mentioned of him, but it is implied that the two were once good friends, as Scrooge explains to the Ghost of Christmas Past that Dick Wilkins was very much attached to him.

Scrooge ends his breif description of his former colleague by referring to him as, "Poor Dick," which vaguely implies that Dick Wilkins died while Scrooge was still aquainted with him.
