Not sure what to say?

It was a great honor to serve Dick in the Grand Living dining room! I truly enjoyed our morning conversations and his witty banter. My sympathies to his family.
Sincerely Peg Deeds

It is with our deepest condolences on the loss of Richard to his family.
Our prayers are with the family and for Richard.

I'M very sorry to here of Dicks passing. I hunted on his property for years. I always gave him salmon and fish fillets. I gave him some after he moved to Cedar Rapids next to the nursing home. He told me you dont have to do that anymore and I told him you didnt have to let me hunt every time I ask. I ask if his son would let me hunt again he said tell his son the salmon man would like to hunt again. I haven't seen him at his usual mornings at Tommy's restaurant and wonderd what was wrong. He...

Doug & Connie (and respective family members), I'm very sad to hear that Uncle Dick has passed away. However, it is comforting to know there is another Yates Angel watching over us. He and Aunt Marie were some of the kindest people on this earth. I know that Uncle Dick's telephone calls brought love and peace to Grandma especially after (my) mom passed away. Love and peace to all of you during this time.
-- Love, Stacia (your cousin in Texas)

So Sorry For Your Loss. It was always a pleasure to visiting and working with Him. Thoughts and Prayers To The Whole Family!!!!

So sorry for your loss Doug and family
