To Gail and family,

So sad to hear of Dick's passing. My prayers are with you - we have great memories that will never go away and know that my thoughts are with you.

I couldn't have asked for a better father-in-law. We bonded quickly and well. You were a wonderful Papa to all your grandkids and had a special way with Andrew that was truly appreciated. He will miss you, even if he can't tell us so. I have many fond memories of time spent with you and I will cherish them always.

Rick, Our condolences to you and your family on the loss of your father. He sounds like an amazing man. Every now and then you read an obituary that makes you want to know more about the person and this was one of them. William and Evelyn's American dream was our country's gain, and we thank them, your father and all of the Bachmann family for the many sacrifices and long years of service to the United States. There's a book here, I just know it!
Sincerely, Colonel and Mrs Michael Winstead

Our family and the community have lost a truly wonderful man. I never saw him that he didn't have a warm word. His good works inspired many. Dick will be missed by many.
