To my seven cousins, my aunt, and to Lorraine, please accept my deepest sympathies. Uncle Dick was a funny, intelligent and interesting man. I never knew him as well as I would have liked, but the man I knew was kind in spirit and had an ironic wit that I appreciated. I would like to think that he and my dad, who just passed as well, are together up there and having a good laugh. May you all find peace in your hearts, love, Laurel and family
