Not sure what to say?

Uncle Dicky you will be greatly missed. You and I shared the love for the "Dew". I think of all the memories we have from out with you guys. Please tell mammy pappy and Josh how much we love and miss them. Love you Uncle Dicky

Didn't know Dick that well, but do know he was good at keeping my knives sharp! He was loved by all and was a good neighbor(pop pop) to my daughter and her family! Dick and Shirley where always ready to help anyone who needed help! Dick will be deeply missed by all! Shirley did a great job of taking care if him during his ill days! My prayers to all!

We will all miss you a lot. We will always remember the fun times we had growing up when we stayed out there with you. Rest easy now, you deserve that. Thinking of the family during this sad time.

He was my brother, we had lots of fun growing up together. He was silly at times but was always caring. He loved his family and was quite artistic. He would do anything to help you out. We all will miss him dearly.

For anyone that knew my Father-in-law Dick, they’d say he was a good man... a loving husband and father... and a downright staunch Pennsylvania Dutchman who stood his ground. We will all miss him dearly, his candid personality always kept me on my toes. I am better to have known him, and will always treasure our talks of racing and life. May God Bless our family as we deal with his loss.
