Dick LeBlond was a cherished, senior member of Derelicts Camp. Gracious and pleasant all the time, and with good humor too. He made life better for all in our Camp, and did the same everywhere he went. One of a kind, a gentleman in all respects and a decent man, and truly missed.

How sad to read of Dick LeBlond's death! He had become such a blessing to me over our many years of interaction always smiling, always upbeat, overflowing with kindness his mere presence in the room always lifted ones's spirit. I will truly miss him. He was so much more than a client. He had become a true friend. Sally, my prayers are with you and the whole family. It has been a privilege to know Dick and you!

I was so sorry to hear of Grandpa's death. He was a man without equal and I loved him dearly. He did, indeed, have a twinkle in his eye that I can picture in my mind right now. There are so many thoughts flooding my memory right now that it is difficult to put my emotions into words. This much I believe: he is in heaven playing golf with the saints and Arnold Palmer - and having a round for the ages. I send my love to all of you while holding you in my thoughts and prayers. Linda
