Richard Marion Balsiger

I will always remember Dick and Winnie warmly welcoming me as an "extended family member" into their home. Dick so lovingly tended to everyone, and they both were such a joy to be around. Even though my visits with them were much too few and far betwen, they will remain in my heart.

Donna and I send our sincerest sympathy to Mr. Balsiger's family. He served as a friend, counselor, supervisor and coworker over most of the years of Wyman's career in the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The obituary says it so well - Dick was a fine man and inspiration to all of us in the younger generation. We respected him for being the professional and gentleman that he was. We are so sorry to learn that he has left us. Wyman and Donna Babby

My deepest sympathy to you all. I remember what a kind man he was and always enjoyed seeing he and Winnie when they came to the office. I've never forgotten their gift of the crib and their only condition was that I pass it on to the next person who needed it. (Which I did, of course.) My thoughts and prayers are with the family!
