Not sure what to say?

I wish I would have known him better. We take for granted the time we have.

Dear Debbie and Family,
Dick was a good man, a good father, and served his community with generosity. His memory lives on.
I hope you are all doing well, especially Chris. I think about him a lot, and would love an update.
Best wishes to you all.

I just became aware of Dick's passing and am very saddened by it. I was the head of finance at Agrico in the early to mid-1990s and reported dotted line to Dick. He was a fantastic person to work with and for. I am sure he is missed.

Condolences to the family, I only recently became aware of Dick's passing. I worked for him in the 1980s in Louisiana when he was a manager for the Freeport Uranium Recovery Co. A great boss and a great guy! He will be missed.

Debbie,
You & your family are in our thoughts and prayers. I remember asking Dolly at the family reunion we had at Acme Oyster House what Dick was doing now that he was retired. "He's investing," she told me. After reading his obituary I have learned that he was investing in his family, his church and his community. We are so sorry God called him home at such a young age, but we know you must be so very proud of him and have wonderful memories of your years together.
