Richard Closen

I just found out that your father passed away. I am so sorry for your loss. He was a good man who loved his kids and grandkids very much. I had the privilige of cutting his hair for many years. We enjoyed many conversations over the years. I came to his house and cut his hair in December. I told him it was a privilige to do that for him. Again, I am sorry for your loss.

Jane & David, Dick was a special friend and god father to one of our children. I was so saddened to hear of his death, will sure miss his smile and good humor. Shall remember all of you in my prayers. An old neighbor from Bartonville. Ginnie Laidler ( Barker)

We're thinking of you at this time and wishing you - Comfort and Peace.
