Richard F. "Dick" Dowling

This man was larger than life, I was a wayward teenager and lost in this world, he found me sleeping on a bench and sent Rick, also a giant to me to retrieve me from my dishwasher job , they took me home and exposed me to kindness and what home is supposed to be. Mind you. I had no clue to anything or how to behave or process this then, but now , today. I can say with all my heart this was not only the best man I ever knew. I wish I had had a chance to say thank you so much

Dick- I'll never forget you!! All the times you took us kids (Rick and I) so many cool places; Shasta, Wrights Lake, taking the squad car out and doin' a 100!! You were a role model for me Dick! My pops was out of the picture, but you always stepped up and included me. Thanks for Coaching me in baseball as a youngster! Concord Tire and Brake- The Hawks! Your pool, loved it! You spent hours teaching me and Rick how to water ski, "just get up on two and KICK ONE!" Well it finally worked and I...

Bob,
Sorry for the loss of your brother.
