Dear members of Richard Frey family we send you Love and hugs for your loss. Dick was a very lovely man to work for and he certainly was a kind gentleman. I remember when I started to work for him in downtown Dayton many years ago. He lived a good long life and I will be 87 this year and glad I remember him so well. God Bless
