Dear Shirley and family,
'Dick' was a dear friend to my father Fred Mock Sr. and proudly served with him in the U.S. Navy in the early 50's. My father tells stories about him and 'Dick' and their adventures in New London, Ct., and on the Navel ships they served. I had the privlidge of meeting you and Dick when you came to my parents 50th anniversary in 2002. Those are memories both my parents will treasure always. Gods peace.
