Not sure what to say?

Dick will be much missed. My sympathy to all. Dr John Sherwood Falcon, Colorado

On behalf of myself, my mother Shirley, and my brothers, we offer our sincere condolences to you, your mother and brothers and entire family, Jackie. So very sorry for your loss. Your dad sounds like he left a legacy of encouragement and love.

So sorry for your loss- He will be missed greatly. He was really my "great" Uncle but growing up he was Uncle Dick! My memories are of backyard wiffle ball games, getting to watch him run the trains and him getting me a 'real' football shirt from the Adams youth league. He was always so positive and an inspiration to many. Prayers to your family. Oh yeah- and I think I was the first and only person that got him out on a kayak -on Lake Champlain:)

I met Dick at some F&SM open houses and was fortunate to have visited his Hoosac Valley layout, met his wife Sandy, and enjoyed his wonderful company. I have never met anyone as warm, friendly and congenial as Dick, and I doubt I ever will. We are all diminished by his death. My condolences to Sandy and all his family. Richard Josselyn

Dick was a true gentleman and one of the kindest guys I have ever known. My condolences to Sandy and all his family. We will all miss him

Dear Sandy and family, Dick was a dear friend of ours, we have many fond memories. He will be deeply missed. May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Sandy. I am so sorry to hear of Dick's passing. Please know that you have my love and prayers, Bonni

So sorry to learn of Dicks passing. He was a wonderful person with such a positive attitude. He was a great influence in my model railroad achievements. Also came to my rescue with the task of disassembling it when we sold our home recently. He will be greatly missed.My sincere condolences.
