Although it's been many, many years, I remember spending time in the at the Kubisiak's. Mr. Kubisiak (as I called him them) was always joking with us "kids". Some how that's the only way I can remember him and that is a good memory. RIP Mr. Kubisiak.

Heaven is blessed to have this wonderful gentlemen with them among the angels. I got to know Dick through softball at Sunny Vale with his son Chuck. He loved the game and was always there to cheer us on. He always had a smile and loved to laugh in the time I knew him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, he will be missed by all who knew him. Blessed is He!

Amidst the sobbing heart, may a smile be lifted up in gratefulness that a good soul is now at peace in eternity with the Father and those who have gone before him. We were very pleased that he could attend Dad's celebration and my heart goes out to you in this trying time.
