Uncle Dick....in our hearts forever!

My thoughts and prayers are with all of You. Aunt Shirley, remember the time we went to eat oysters off the beach and then watched the submarine go by. That was a great day. And to my cousins I remember learning how to play croquet and shoot off pop-bottle rockets at each other at the same time, at the old house. Then doing the hokie-pokie and playing twister in the basement. Those memories and that unyeilding smile of Uncle Dicks, will stay with me for ever! I love and miss you all.

I pray that smiles will dry the tears as memories of happy times with him come to mind...as Uncle Dick could always light up a room with his presence!...peace and blessings to all!
Brothers for eternity...

Dear Shirley and family,
Dick was a beautiful soul and we know the gate to heaven was wide open awaiting his arrival. As you ponder over stories and memories of his life remember that his family was his most valuable possession. You all were his pride and joy. He was also a super loving brother and brother-inlaw and we will cherish the memories he left us with. He is in a much better place free of pain. Deepest Sympathy, Jim & Kathy
