It was such a pleasure to drive and accompany Uncle Dick along with my dad and Aunt Lois to Uncle Jerry's memorial service a few months ago. He loved his family. His laughter and encouragement was a blessing. His grace through a difficult time was an example. Our thoughts and prayers are with you who miss him most.
