Not sure what to say?

My heartfelt condolences to the Dempsey family. While I only knew your husband/dad he was one of those memorable guys in my life-he and his brother Pat gave me my first job at $1.00 an hour and quickly raised it to $1.25!! I was 14.Yes-he was quick to anger but also quick to smile and forget he was angry at me-he taught me the value of hard work and responsibility. A work ethic I carry to this day. He and Pat were the quintessential small businessmen. My days at Dempsey Linen Supply were good...

Our condolenses to the entire Dempsey family. Dick Dempsey will always live in my memory as a man who did it his way.He inspired every one around him not see circumstances as barriers but opportunities to improve yourself. His direct "hands on" style may have been intimidating for some but for many Dick shined brightly as a positive life influence in what could be a dark and mundane world. Cheers to you Dick ! And thank you for what you did for me and my family.
