What a guy! I will miss him dearly! Dick was such a one of a kind person. I can hear him calling out "Hello Sara Jane" when I saw him. He has been there through my entire life-he will be missed always

We will miss you Papa D. Your Thanksgiving turkey, stuffing and gravy was the BEST! Thank you for being the best papa to our grandkids. They sure adored you. Traveling to Orlando for our family vacation will always be a treasured memory with my "two husbands" We shall meet again, however in the meantime, look over us and protect our babies. Sending love

Dick was given the nickname "Dick KNOWS" when my daughter called me at work. She was looking for a job. I said to her "Maybe Dick knows..." but before I could finish she said "Mom! Who are you calling dick nose???" We always laughed! In turn Dick called me "Syd knee!!!". I love and will miss you so much my dear friend!! Remember your promise to find Cortnee and tell her I love n miss her! (My sweet daughter 2/6/72 - 9/24/2021)

I was fortunate enough to work at two jobs with Dick. He became a very best friend to myself and my husband, John. Always loving n caring and funny as hell! We shared many laughs and timed together! Just a month ago we were at his home for a home cooked meal! Even tho' his health was failing then. He made sure we ate until we were stuffed! He was the biggest sweet heart! I will miss him dearly!
