Not sure what to say?

I was sorry to hear of Dick's passing. Dick and I were cousins through our Dolan great-grandparents. Dorothy and I fondly recall meeting with Dick and Bea at Filoli and trading family stories. We regret that we were traveling and had to miss Dick's service.

So sorry to hear about the loss of your father corey

Dear Tim and Family, I was very saddened to hear about the death of your father. Over the years I was happy to have gotten to know the entire family. I always enjoyed working for your father. Marilyn and I are traveling right now but when we return home I will contact you. Jack and Marilyn Doss

Dick was a great man!
We did business together for years and became great friends along the way.
I remember him for his "out of the box" business sense, personal support and love to travel.
I will miss him.

Dick's grandmother was Kittie Dolan who married Frank Benson. My grandmother was Elizabeth Dolan, Kittie's sister. Elizabeth married Eugene Callan.
He was very interested in family history. I spoke to him about a year ago. Our great grandparents Michael Dolan & Mary Jane Curley came to San Francisco in the early 1850s
He was a great man

My mother was Alice Benson.
