Joan,
My heart goes out to you and your family. It was wth great pleasure to have known Dickie and be able to look back at all the fun times we had together during our high school years. As a teammate with Dickie in football, basketball and track it was easy to see Dickie would be a winner in anything he wanted to do. He was a winner. With his passing, all of us who new him also were winner's.
Joan, my heart felt sympathy goes out to you and all of Dickie's family.

Dear Joan & family
We were saddeded to learn of Dicks Passings this morning . Dick was a fellow classmate, a team mate in baseball and in the National Guards but much more a great friend and family man. Since moving to Cleveland TN in 75 I only saw him at class reunions. He will be missed not ony by you and your family but by all of us that knew him. We will be praying that God will Bless you and your family and provide each of you with strength during this time of sorrow. If we can be of any help in any way just let us know.

So very sorry to hear of Mr. Allen's death. My mother (Jean Litwinowicz) worked for him back in the late 60's and early 70's when the office was located on Jeff Davis Hwy. I worked for him on Saturdays answering the telephones. He will be greatly missed.

I saw with sadness the passing of Dick. He was such a wonderful man. I remember him when I was doing real estate for a Chesterfield attorney. Dick was such a pleasure to deal with. I know you will miss him. Remember that God will be with you through this time of sorrow and He will help you get through that year of "firsts". My thoughts and prayers will be with you.
