Karen , Todd, Chad and Mark,
I just heard about Dick's passing. I'm so sorry for your loss. Dick was a kind man. I enjoyed coming to your house when the boys were young so you could have a night out, You both deserved it and always seemed to have a great time together. You will all forever be in my thoughts and prayers. Tammy Huver

Chad and Mark,
I just heard about your dad and am so sorry for your loss. We were all inseperable growing up and your dad was a big part of it, whether taking us to ball games or camping in Grand Haven. He will certainly be missed. Your family is in my prayers.
Sincerely, Cris

Dear Karen:
I am so thankful that I got to spend the day recently with Dick and you ... grocery shopping, making lunch together and just visiting. How Dick was on that day is how I will always remember him. The best memory I have of Dick, though, is the time we had a get-together at your house and he spent the entire evening chasing after and playing with my two little (at that time) grandkids Erin and Logan. How he loved little kids! I know Dick suffered many set-backs this past...
