Not sure what to say?





Gail when I found out about this I was devastated,
I could not believe my good friend Dick was gone. I'm so sorry.. I have a picture of him that I spent an hour looking at, he gave me it showing a printer he recieved as a present, and I spent a couple of weeks thinking about the good times I had with Dick at Davenport Machine all those years. I know it's been a few yrs since he went to be with our Lord and I didn't know about his passing until recently. All our Hope's and love for you and your family
Sincerely;
Larry and Debbie.
