I will miss my "Uncle" Richard.So sorry I did not get to know him and his family better.

Richard was my uncle. A fantastically smart and great man and an excellent person.I will miss him forever.

Dick Gresham was introduced to me through Golfing at Westover AFB in Massachusetts through my parents (Joe nad Lea's relationship with Dick and Marge. As we spent a lot of time initally golfing, then with Kreg and Kris in sports, Dick became my hero, not only as a Marine, but as a football player with Quantico that supported me and my brothers as we played High School Football. Dick was always supportive, even to the extent of getting kicked out of a game for yelling at my coach. Too funny!...

That sounds like a full, happy life to me. Quite a man who will surely be missed by many.

God, please continue to bless the Gresham family. They have fought the good fight too long. Somewhere in the heavens above, Dick is telling an Umpire that the last pitch was way outside.
