I am so sorry for your loss. Dick will be missed by family and friends as he was always so much fun. Shirley, I will always remember the time the four of shared over the years and all the fun we had! Dick was always encouraging everyone and he was responsible for getting me started to paint again. I send my love to you and praying for your family.

As a co-worker for many years, I knew Dick to be a true and talented professional and a trusted, diligent servant of others. He was also a justifiably proud parent as well as a devoted family man. And one of his many paintings still graces our home. While his departure will certainly be keenly felt by all those who knew him, we trust that the many, many good memories so many will have of him will make the difficult days ahead somewhat easier. A life well-lived. Well done, Dick. We'll look forward to seeing you again one day.
