We miss you so much Dad. I look at your six (soon to be 7) great grandchildren and know that you would be tickled pink watching their antics and also watching your beloved granddaughters as mothers. You are always in our heart Dad

The Eppink and Gliozzo families are very close going back to over 30 years. Richard and I enjoyed each other's company when when both of our families lived in Buffalo,N.Y. Richard was very friendly,always smiling, humorous, and a loyal friend.It is to bad that we could not get together and talk about our love for hostess cup cakes. Recently we had his wife and son Jim for lunch in East Lansing. Very pleasant and memorable.

I am so glad I was able to visit Uncle Dick in Orlando in November. He was everything I remembered him to be! Witty, charming, humorous with an infectious laugh and a tempered personality. While like my Dad in many ways, he was more outgoing and just such an outright people person to the strangers he met along the way. I will love him always! He was my Godfather and I just don't remember a time that I didn't have good fun or conversation with him. I know how he loved his immediate family and I am glad he is home with them now. For Aunt Joan, Rick, Anne Marie, Jim and Mike, praise God you are a family of faith. The hole in your hearts will diminish with time and the joy will be profound when all of us reunite with our Heavenly Father.

To Aunt Joan and family,

Sometimes people that are very important to you leave you with life long memories and impressions. Uncle Dick was such a person in our lives. From a very young age he impressed us with who he was and what he stood for. The legacy of the person he was is evidenced in his wonderful family that he left behind.

We are all honored to have been even a small part of his life. Our deepest sympathy and prayers are with Aunt Joan and the entire family.

I love you all!
