Mrs. Supplee & Family, please note my fond thoughts about Dick, one of my favorite people. I especially enjoyed his enthusiasm in working at NVF & subsequently doing contract work for others. He enjoyed helping others learn his craft for manufacturing difficult to make industrial tubing and his own extraordinary ability in carving almost anything. I certainly benefitted from my experiences with him & will keep his memory in my heart.

Mrs. Supplee & family, please note my fond memories of one of my favorite people.
I really enjoyed sharing his enthusiasm and stories regarding working in our industry-both at NVF & subsequently contract helping others. It was inspiring seeing him help others in learning his craft in making things, both on industrial equipment & in his extraordinary ability to carve almost anything. He will be thought of fondly by many.
Best Regards, Jim Wilfong
