Uncle Dick was such a role model for us in how to enjoy life and be positive. He was kind, fun loving and very sensitive which helped him relate to both his peers and the very young. We will miss him a great deal and are very appreciative of all the kindness, humor and support he provided us thru the years. Love, Doris, Linda and the rest Ferguson Clan.
