My sympathy to Sunny and family,parents John and Margaret, and brother Bill. Many memories on the Romer ranch and the best Christmas Eves every year until the 60's. Moving away with only class reunions every 5 years to keep in touch. My regrets in not telling Dick, how much he was loved. A sweet fine man with 100 percent kindness. Loved and respected by many. God will have a special place for him.

Sorry to hear about Dick. He was a link to the "good old days" in Ukiah. We shared the experience of Boy Scouts and elementary school. In particular we were in sixth grade together.

I am so sorry to hear of Dick's passing. I worked at Parducci Wine Cellars all through the '80's as Assistant Winemaker and he was always smiling and cracking jokes. He was the guy we could call in the middle of the night to go dump the grape pomace when the truck was full. Carolyn and I send our sincere condolences to the entire Parducci family.
