We're going to miss you, neighbor! It's hard to imagine GrandView without Dick's helpfulness, morning greetings from across our lawns, and, especially, throwing the ball to Gracie. Our heartfelt sympathy to Debbie, the boys we've watched grow up for 40 years, and their families. We'll cherish the memory of Dick's face lighting up whenever he talked about his grandchildren. God bless!

So many lives are richer, fuller and better because of Dick's presence. His legacy of love and service to others will last forever. (I regret so much that I cannot be with you all on Monday for medical reasons, but I will be with you in love and memory of my dear friend.) Peace and love-
