Rest in peace cousin.

Dick rest in peace and watch over us, your cousin Ward

Dick, I am so very proud of our daughter Tami for all she did this year to help you out while you were in hospital most of this year. I know how much you needed and appreciated all she did for you. Especially for not giving up on your 2 dogs whom you loved with all your heart. She tirelessly drove 45 minutes to your home almost daily, to make sure Rusty and Zoey were well taken care of. Tami has been a true blessing to both of us and again couldnt have been more proud she was always there...

We lost contact for many years, finally my cousin and I found each other and communicated on Facebook for the past few years. At no time did he indicate he was ill. He mentioned one time he might like to visit, I wish that would have happened. Your cousin Ward Keller

Nice to all that work with him, he will miss by many on FB. He loved his furry friends and shared them all the time. Prayers for his family

Rest in peace Richard. Every day was a memorable one working with him at Briggs. He was a fun great sense of humor. I can't believe he's gone. I hadn't talked to him in a while. I planned on doing a surprise attack visit. In the past I would stop after Jefferson car show swap meet. Best Great Dane dog sitter I ever had. He taught my puppy every bad habit there was to teach. He was very proud of that too. I can't tell you how many times on the assembly line busy running around he would call...
