My sincere sympathy to you, Wyoma, and all Dick's family.

One of the great joys in our life, was knowing cousin Betty & Rich!!! Then later,Rich found love with Wyoma joining our family. Rich was a "rock star" in his field & respected around the world!! We want very much to be at the memorial, so we can reconnect with all of you "kids". Love & Prayers

I so wish to hug you Catherine.

Truly a legend as a mentor and a teacher. His integrity, dedication, wit, humility, and academic excellence established a high benchmark for all. Condolences to all his family members.

Thank you for your Service May you be Granted the Caisson of Honor on your journey to a Restful Peace

Dr. Andrews was an advisor and mentor to me almost 45 years ago in the Physiology graduate division at Creighton University. He had an enormous effect on my life, the extent to which I can't even begin to describe. As a pleasant reminder, Dr. Andrews' son, Bill, and I were classmates at Creighton medical school. Dr. Andrews was the ultimate scientist who led by example. He was often quiet, but very influential. While I regret his passing, I celebrate his life and the positive impact he had on...

So sorry to hear of Dick's death. In addition to working with him, Ted and I enjoyed him immensely at the Nuclei parties and whenever we meet him. He was a great joy. My sincere sympathies and know you are in my prayers.

I love you Grandpa. I will miss the days of sitting with you on the potch in estas park. You've helped shaped me into the man I am today. Helping me chase my dreams and pushing me to become the best I can be. I will always rember that no matter what you would always open the car door for grandma. You where a true gentleman and I hope to be like you one day. Rest easy I hope to see you again someday in another life. We'll go out for breakfast just you and I. I love you and will miss you.
