Read MoreDick meant so much to my family. In fact, we felt he was a part of our family. I would like to have contact with the Arlington daughter since I now live in that area so I can hear more about her Dad. What a wonderful life he had and how he impacted others.

My husband and I were co-managers at Polo Park Estates for a little over 2 1/2 years. Dick made us feel like we were a part of his family as well as we made him a part of ours. He welcomed our grandson into the world and made us all feel like we were important no matter what. Dick NEVER forgot a name and you could always feel the love from him. We are so very blessed to have had him in our lives. Our love and hearts go out to Dick and your family. Love always, Don & Teresa Hart

What a wonderful man to have called a friend. I was the only female of our coffee bunch at McDonalds years ago where I first knew Dick. I dearly loved that man. I am so very sorry to read of his death, but what a long wonderful life he had and you his family were given a wonderful legacy to have his name!
