Too many fond memories still return during the many years of being blessed by "Mr Coffman". A couple unusual ones; My wife Becky and I being trusted to house sit in Belmont and look after Howie while he and Miriam traveled. Him taking me to the Steaming Kettle for a knockwurst on roll with red beat relish. Dick asking me to take "Samuel P", his dad, around the corner for a fancy lunch. Dick and Neal sincerely remembered and missed.

Dear Miriam and your entire family:
We were shocked to learn of Dick's passing. He was such a sweet and upbeat person...so full of life and hope...and he always urged us to "take the time to smell the roses".
Dick was a great guy and a real mentsh...he will be sorely missed.
As we enter the New Year, you and Dick are in our hearts and our prayers.

Fond memories from years ago with gratetude to God for the many kindnesses Dick and his family bestowed on my wife Becky and I. One special rememberance/memory to mention, today in our bedroom is a bookshelf, atop the bookshelf is a Madeline doll sent to us 16 years ago at the birth of our daughter Dana Jean. I cherish this kindness.

Miriam, may your hear the quiet voice of God speak peace to your heart and may all the children know and cherish how much of a giving person Dick was.
