Not sure what to say?

My Dearest Darling,
We've been soul mates for 60 years & you've been my pillar of strength.
You were a wonderful father & husband & a friend to all who knew you. There are too many memories to list here, but they will never be forgotten. You sure gave it a good fight, but I guess it wasn't meant to be. We will be together someday, my sweetheart. I love you & miss you.
Your Loving Wife,
Carolyn

You are truly missed "Dad" Chris and I have been out to the campground and it just doesn't seem possible you're gone. I'm so glad you are in no pain now though.

I have a picture of you by my computer and see it every day and I smile because you were such a wonderful guy and I am so so glad you were in our lives.

You touched so many lives and you will never be forgotten, love and kisses "Dad"

Love Always,

Uncle Dick. I love you. I miss you. I'll see you soon.
Aunt Carolyn and family...our thoughts and prayers are with each of you.

We had so much fun together, so many laughs. I have so many memories of you that I will keep always. You've forever got that piece of my heart, old man. We'll dance together in spirit. I love you so much. RIP, Gramps.

Your smile, your laugh, your wonderful sense of humor, your scowl, your kisses, your hugs, your sternness, your tenderness, your loving eyes, your joking ways...and I could go on and on...
These are just some of the things that your daughter will miss....most of all, I will miss you. I love you dad..

To a wonderful man who brought alot of joy to many lives. You will always be in our hearts. You will be sadly missed, but always loved. You always had a smile and was happy to help anyone that needed you help. I will miss you and hold you dear in my heart.

My heartfelt sympathy to Carolyn and the family. Dick was a man among men! He took on some serious responsibilities at a tender young age - and never shirked them. Know he will be missed by all. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

We are so sorry to hear of losing Dick.
He was truly one of the good guys.
I know that Ted and I will miss those talks & jokes while hanging out by the office on the golfcarts with Dick and other friends.
No one could tell the jokes like Dick could.
He will be so very truly missed by so many people who loved him and love Carolyn.
