We bought our house, 22 years old, on dewey st. Dick and Pauline were now our neighbors, we were young, and they knew it. I think at first they were worried, but man, they turned out to be the greatest neighbors ever. They were there for everything, births, birthdays, like second grandparents. they helped us with yard work, Pauline loved cards and taught one of our seven year olds to play cribbage. They came on Christmas eve, They loved the kids , they loved us, we loved them. We missed them when we moved, and will always miss them. My family has so many memories, I wish I could write them all, we will always have them in our hearts. Love and condolences.

Dick was my bus driver for many years, but he was so much more than that. He was a wonderful caring man. He cared for children so much, always had a big smile , an ear for listening and words of wisdom just when you needed it.
