Dear Keith, Carol and David;
So sorry for the loss of your Dad. Our friendship with Dick and Jean began in Broomall PA and continued with visits to Wayland MA and Naples FL. Knowing that these, his last years in Marlborough, were full of contentment and joy, surely brings peace to his loved ones.

Keith, David and Carol:

I was so sorry to hear about the loss of your dad.

Dick was a great guy, a devoted husband and father and a truly good neighbor for almost 30 years. He was always ready to lend a helping hand to all who needed it. He and your mom were so proud of all of you and spoke often of your accomplishments.

He will be missed.
