Not sure what to say?

Donna, Larry and I were so glad we could have a moment with you that Friday. Yes, I know you love Larry more and that is sooooo understandable! Listening to Greg was a pleasure, he did a wonderful job. I know he made you and the family smile and thats a good thing. The minute Greg said "when Dick arrived in Heaven, his first question would be - who is going to give me a beer?". I'm thinking my Dad was in line to hand him one!!!! They will certainly re-hash Army and Vine Valley stories! I...

I am saddened to hear of Dick's passing. My thoughts are with Donna and the entire Emerson family. I know it has been a long time but I have nothing but fond memories of Dick and the family in the short time where we got to know each other. I wish you peace and happiness in your time of sorrow.

We will all miss Dick. He was a great racer and a greater person. He always had a cheery smile and time to visit. We were thrilled when he asked us to make a diecast model of his famous #13 coupe! Mary & Dick Montgomery

Dear Donna and family,
I have fond memories of Dick, you, Cindy and Marci and the fun of growing up around racing as a child. I lost my father 30 years ago this month and truly know the magnitude of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you now.

Donna and family, I am sorry to hear about your loss of Richard gonna remember all the old times now he and my mom and dad are in heaven talking about old times. Just know my thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. Love to all. Steven Colbert SR

One of the nicest men I ever met. Dick was a talented stock car driver and a gentleman behind the wheel. He also was my very first interview, for the 1973 Bishop Turner High School newspaper. He took time out to talk with me and I forever was impressed. May he rest in peace.

My condolences to the entire Emerson family. Dick was one of the greats that raced. My dad and I enjoyed watching him throughout his career. Dick will be missed by all his fans and friends that knew him!. Rest in peace Dick...now my dad has someone to bench race with in heaven! Dawn (Gay) Maynard. Towanda, PA

Donna, Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I know my mom and dad (Walt & Shirley) had many fun times racing with Dick.
