Uncle Dick you sure will be missed by all the family. My best memory is the bracelet from the state fair 1952.

Dick was always "fun" to be with at our family reunions of the past. Fond memories of when we were young, shooting hoops was always one of his favorite activities challenging all of his cousins, particularly his cousin-in-law Jim! Dick will always be in our hearts. Jeanne our prayers for you and all the family.

I'll miss my Uncle Dick very much. He was funny, kind and smart. And I'll never forget that he was "a rag top man" when it came to cars. Love you always. Your nephew Jeff
