Dear Renate,
It was with much sadness that we learned of Dick's passing.
He was always polite and kind when your girlfriends descended on your house to learn more about knitting and crocheting. He had a life well lived and appeared content with his marriage and children and he most certainly was proud of his grandchildren.
