Not sure what to say?

Neola , Scott and Stacey - So sorry for the loss of Dick, husband and father. Moving to Harrisburg to also work for Mack kind of took me out of the loop for visits and gatherings. I remember talking to him at my Mom's funeral and we had a nice time. I wish we could have had more of that. So I'm sure he is enjoying God's presence and reuniting with those that have gone before us. God bless your family as they heal from your loss. Mike, Kathy, Tanya and son Austin and Michael jr.

Neola and family - We were so sorry to hear of Richard's death. May God comfort you and give you peace in this difficult time. Sue and Lee Phillips

Neola, I am so very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Neola, Scott, Stacey and families - so very sorry to hear of Dick's passing. May you find comfort knowing he is resting in God's loving arms where the angel choirs are singing and he is at peace and out of pain. Thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Love Tom & Cindy

Scott - Very sorry to hear about your father! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.

My Uncle Dick always had a contagious laugh and a twinkle in his eyes. He was the definition of jovial. He was loved and will be missed~ until we meet again. Your family will be in our hearts, thoughts, and prayers as your mourn his passing.

Scott, Lynn, Merritt and Matthew,

Thinking of you all during this difficult time. May your memories be a comfort. Love to all!
