Dear friends and family,

We feel incredibly blessed to be surrounded by so many friends and family during this very sad time. Our father was such a sweet, fun loving soul. In our hearts we know that he is now in a much better place, and that his love continues to surround us every day. Thank you for all the love and support you have given us.

With love,

From Dick's family

Dick was a great guy! He was a wonderful friend to my grandparents (Chet & MaryAnn),for many years, and treated us as though we were his family. He always had a huge grin on his face, and it will be greatly missed. Sending our deepest condolences to the entire Gallegos & extended family. Much love, from the Ramirez family.

Deepest condolences to Dick's family. I knew Dick from our Anamax Mining days. I will always cherish his friendship and remember his affable personality and great sense of humor. He was one of those persons who was thoroughly enjoyable to be around. He will be greatly missed but will always be fondly remembered.
