Not sure what to say?

Dear Darleen

We are so sorry to hear about Dick. He was a terrific guy, I remember him as our paperboy on Hillcrest Road and as a student at Carrs Corners. And of course seeing the 2 of you whenever we came to Elmira to visit family.

Take care and know if there is anything I can do to help, all you need to do is call.

Love always,

Barbara (Kaeser) Kirschner

Darlene,
My Condolences go out to you with your loss of Dick. I worked with Dick at U. S. Steel in Elmira. He was a first class person and was dedicated to life.
I am saddened by your loss.

Dear Darleen, I was so saddened when I saw the notice for Dick. My prayers are with you and your family. He was a very caring person and one that I remember fondly from our TAE days.

Darlene and family - we are truly sorry to hear of Dick's passing. Our time with him in the fire department and working with him in other aspects of our lives. He taught us so much and will be dearly missed. Our deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Dear Gumtow Family,

It is with sadness and melancholy that I write this note. Dick (Richard) was always a respectful, friendly and just a nice guy to us kids from the Hoffman ST, Lena PL and Bancroft RD area. He babysat my brother Mark and I, which was always something we looked forward to as kids. We'd hang out in his basement spinning 45 RPM records and broadcasting on the AM waves via his circuit boards, resistors and amplifier/vacuum tubes. He'd take us to WEHH on Saturday...
