Richard J. Ames

DICK was more than a good dental patient to me. He was a true friend.

Dick was a great guy! I got to know him in 1963, the year I got out of the Army Dental Corp and I started my dental practice in Burnsville, MN. He was one of my first patients and he was a patient when I retired.
Two friends of mine, Bill Dolan and Micky McDonald and I decided to buy the
Connelly farm and develop it into 119 residential lots, called Ville du Park.
We hired Dick Ames to make the streets and grade it. His second job. I got to know him even better. We both...

We didnt know Dick but we knew his brother John...Helping us with FFA and Arabian Horse Show sponsoring Paint A Pony. John often spoke of Dick and having a great brother. We feel so honored to have known such a prestige family. Sending prayers for the Family.Sincerely Rose Offerman and Family of Paint A Pony.

I feel so proud and blessed to have had Dick and his brother John as a customer with horse bedding for so many years. The amount of love and respect I have for the both of them is more than they even know. Dick was truly amazing and my heart goes out to his whole family and friends because I know we will all miss him dearly. May he rest in peace and my all of you find comfort with his memories he left behind.
God Bless,

My dad Ralph Nelson died 5 years ago but I remember him talking about Dick over the years and how Dick became a successful business man. My dad (who lived on a farm) would tell me that they were neighbors but the farm houses were so spread apart we used...

My sincere condolences to Lolly and the family.
In 1963 I just got out of the Service and set up my dental practice in Burnsville. Dick was one of my first patients. Bill Dolan, Micky McDonald and I bought the Connely farm and developed Ville Du Park on Kennelly Road. We hired Dick, his second job, to make the roads. He did a great job.
I have known Dick for 63 years and saw him on many occasions. He was a patient from 1963 until I retired. Always a very nice guy and fun to be...
