To Dick's Family,
I am deeply saddened to hear about Dick's passing. I worked with him for a few years at Walmart and he was very fun to be around. There was never a day when he wasn't talking about all his grandbabies and showing off new pictures or talking about his grown children. He loved them all so very much. I will never forget Dick and he will be missed.
