Dear Mrs. Cahoon, Chris, Erica, and family,

My condolences to you on your loss. I remember Mr. Cahoon well from Piety Corner, where I used babysit Chris and Erica when they were little. I hope you are all finding comfort and peace in wonderful memories of a full life well lived. My warmest regards to you all.

Dear Marge and family,

So sorry to hear of Dick's passing. We have such happy memories of all the years in Piety Corner together. I never once saw Dick without a smile on his face!! Such a happy man - must have been he had such a
good wife! Our sincere condolences to all of you.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if everyone was as warm, inviting, friendly and interesting as Dick Cahoon.
It was always a pleasure to be in the company of Dick.
Great guy

What a beautiful tribute to a clearly wonderful man. His love and joy for his family is evident In the photos and in knowing any of the Cahoon's it is evident that family comes above all else. It is something to be envied and what I imagine was Richard's greatest treasure. I know that life will never be the same without him, but he left you a solid foundation and a lasting legacy. May God comfort you until you meet again.

We grew up together picking blueberries, swimming, horseback riding, making hay and feeding Muriel's animals, enjoying great meals by Aunt Beryl, going to Broadway shows, etc. Richard was a treasured cousin.

A fine man who fathered an equally fine family. The world is a lesser place without him. God Bless.

Uncle Richard was a tremendous man! He was such a joy to share a conversation with him, and I always looked forward to going for walks with he and aunt Marguerite. He gave the best hugs, and I loved that he was never without a smile! He will be greatly missed!

Dear Aunt Marguerite and family, our thoughts and prayers are with you. I will always remember Uncle Richard for his wide smile and happy laugh.
