I will forever remember Dick as the man who hired me, nurtured me and remained a friend for over 30 years. I cherish the memory of his many kindnesses, his sly and dry wit, his obvious love of family. I will keep the family in my prayers. And Dick - they still haven't deported me!!!

Heartfelt condolences to the entire Laibly family. Your Dad and entire family were great friends to me 40 years ago when Richard & I were in high school at NDHS, and then again to my entire family and especially my Mom & Dad 3 years ago when that amazing coincidence of your Dad & my Dad sharing a room at St. Matt's came to pass. I know you will miss him dearly. One lives forever in the hearts of those who remember. Peace.
