Dick must've made an impression on me because I think of him often. The laughs while working, a cold beer when it was 20 degrees. I truly miss him.

A funny thing happened this past week, I saw a delivery truck by Two Rivers and thought of you Dick. Remember when you'd take your lunch break and park the truck to go swimming? That was awesome. Miss you buddy.

Our sympathies to you all in your time of great loss. We enjoyed the time in the gym during St Mark basketball when Paul coached Alex on the court. Your family is in our prayers for strength and peace knowing he is at God's side always.

We were blessed to have met Dick and Donna and the kids through St. Mark Church many years ago.
Although often said, Dick was truly one of the kindest, patient and giving people we have ever known. Dick was instrumental in setting up and helping with the Lutheran Pioneer program at
St. Mark to give many young people the experience of camping and working together to enjoy God's creation. Dick will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him. His reward is heaven, where he now worships his Lord and Savior face to face.

I knew Dick through his job at Melotte. He often delivered our order. I could tell he was a hard worker and dedicated to his job and the Lord. He will be missed. I was deeply saddened to hear of his passing. His family and friends are in my prayers.

I used to work with Dick years ago. Dick was always a good guy to work with, and willing to help you out or answer a question if you had one. I always remember Dick being as strong as an ox and couldn't say I have seen him get mad while working. I have seen him from time to time on his route since and always took the time to talk with him. I am a bit shocked to see him gone from us so soon, and will miss him as with many people I'm sure. But I do remember him loving the Lord very much and I'm sure he's finding heaven to be magnificent !

I worked with Dick for over 10 years. Once in awhile we would ride together on a route, and we'd laugh the entire time. Dick had a very dry sense of humor, but once you got him laughing, it was nonstop. Dick was one of the nicest people I've ever known. He would do anything, for anyone. One of my favorite memories was watching him and Donna dance at a reception. They would only shake a leg to Michael Jackson songs. I'm going to miss you Dick.
