Richard Lee "Dick, Horseshoe" Ferris

I am still missing you Brother...

one of the last true "horseman " he taught me more about horses in an hour than most people know . I still have the horseshoe nail ring he made for me when I was young. He saved my horse and I am forever grateful. Lisa Cummings Roanoke va

We loved Dick! He was a big part of the RADSUE Texas Bar-B-Q family. Sending our deepest sympathy. Rad and Sue Thomas

Such a great man! Hugs and love to his family!

Dick was such a nice man. We lived on Luke´s Mountain in Covington when our families met. Mama (Helen Shelton) and Sandy were such good friends, and the family always enjoyed visiting and working with Dick. He lived a long and wonderful life, always with joy in his heart. God Bless all of you Love, the Shelton family (Linda, Carolyn, Doug, Susan, Steve, and Jane)

To the Ferris Family: I am so sorry to hear of the passing of my Brother-In-Arms Horseshoe; he will be truly missed. Your loss is my loss too! I was on the DAV Honor Guard with him for 10 years -- Shoe was the best! He is the only man I let call me "Tiny"! I will miss his presence at the Trench Rat meetings... I am crushed beyond words! I will keep your Family in my prayers during this difficult time of loss -- GOD bless you! My Deepest Condolences, Ace and Linda, Perry C Taylor Jr...

I did not have the privilege of knowing this Gentleman, but would like to thank him and his family for his service to the USA in WWII. God bless the family. A lady American.

Sorry to hear of Horseshoe's passing. I always enjoyed talking to him and hearing his stories.

I remember Mr Ferris shoeing our horses, I was just a kid, but I remember him well.
