Not sure what to say?

I'm glad that I had the opportunity to meet Mr. Florence. He was such a gentleman, and Mrs. Florence is wonderful, and gave Mr. Florence such wonderful care. He is in a good place (probably smiling at you), but I
know you have broken hearts. If there is anything I can do to be supportive, please let me know.

I was a grad student at UVa when I met Dick in 1968 through the amateur radio club. He was then president. I was at the farm many times, and maintained a warm friendship with him until departure from Charlottesville in 1972. He was kind and generous in all of our relationships. The image in my mind is of him in 1972 -- perhaps that's a good thing

May God bless you and your family.

Renie, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this sad time.

Treasure all those sweet memories of your dad. You and your family are in my prayers
