We will miss your jokes, your e-mails and most of all your friendship. You put your heart into the kids on the bus, the elderly at the nursing home and you gave your heart to your friends.

My sympathies to all of the Weese family during this time of mourning. However, we must try to remember that Dick wants us all to celebrate his life and not mourn his passing. He was like an older brother to me and I will miss so but I am grateful for the time we had after missing each other for 42 years.
