Dear Patti,
We hope it is not too late to express our sincere sadness upon hearing of Dick's death. We needn't tell you what a great guy he was and that he will be missed by so many in this community. Although we did not know him well, we always enjoyed his company, his sportsmanship, and his thoughtfulness. We hope your burden is eased a little by knowing others share your loss.

Dick was a great reader. He always took interest in what you were doing. Always asking questions, caring and investing his time with those around him.

Dear Patti, Katie and Ben and Extended Family,
I am so sorry to hear about Dick’s passing. I know it was sudden and not expected. Lis had been keeping me posted on his health and his treatment he was supposed to get in CA. Lis has also kept me posted on all the happenings with the kids - new apartments and engagement. I’m sending you my fondest condolences and thinking of you during this very difficult time.
Love Lisa
