Sandy, Mike and Bryan I am so sorry to hear of the loss of a great man. Mr. Dick was one of the best, most genuine guys I've been around. From the days playing ball at the Dick household, or down at Schwartz all I remember is what a good and kind man, father and husband he was. Once again I am so sorry, he is in a better place now!

Dear Bryan, Michael, and Sandy,

Cheryl, Mike and I are so deeply saddened upon hearing the news of Kevin's passing. Please accept our heartfelt condolences at this most difficult of times.
The years we spent coaching Bryan and my son Mike are full of memories that we will all treasure forever.
Kevin's easy demeanor,ever present smile, and seemingly boundless energy earned the respect of the kids he coached, their parents, and those of us who were fortunate enough to share time on and off the field with him.
He will be sorely missed.

Rest easy, my friend.
Save me a spot on the bench...

Respectfully,
Rich , Mike and Cheryl Kilmer
