Its hard to know just what to say at this sad time because no words can truly comfort us but perhaps we can, in some small way, express the care and concern that's felt for you, Dad we are thinking of you and we will miss you so much, may you rest in peace. We love you!

Dad was so proud of Jack

Dear Elaine and Family, I am so saddened to hear of the passing of Dick. Although none of us have seen you or Dick in sometime, you have a very fond place in our hearts. Stephanie and Joseph loved talking to the grandfather recently. It is so sad we never made the time to visit. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. I have very fond memories of Dick holding the kids when they were babies. He was a great man - very kind and loving to us all. We will miss him. May he be at peace with our Lord.
