Not sure what to say?

To the family,
Just saw in the Parish News of Dick's passing. We have many fond memories of good times with him at church. He had a great sense of humor. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. So sorry for your loss.
Tom and Linda Henning and family

Bruce - I work for Dr Michael Morrissey and had the pleasure of getting to know your dad. He was my favorite patient!! We joked with each other and every time he came to the office he made my day! I am very sorry for your loss and he will be greatly missed by me. Crystal

Bruce - I was sorry to hear of the passing of your father. I remember how often you used to visit him. My thoughts are with you.

I just found out today the passing of Richard. He was married to my Aunt Shirl. I didn't get to spend very much time with him because I was away at college and then moved to San Diego. The little bit of time I did get to spend with him was truly enjoyable. He will be missed. Rest in Peace.....

DEAR JEFF,DEBBIE AND BRUCE
IT WAS MY PLEASURE TO GET TO KNOW YOUR FATHER AS A NEIGHBOR AND AS A DEAR FRIEND.HE LOVED HIS FAMILY AND WAS VERY KIND TO PEOPLE HE KNEW.ALWAYS A GENTLEMAN.
HE WAS A REAL TROOPER MOST OF THE TIME THRU MOST OF HIS ILLNESES IN THE LAST COUPLE YEARS. I KNOW HE MADE PEACE IN HIMSELF.
BETTY, I KNOW YOU DID MANY KINDNESSES FOR DICK IN THESE LAST 2 YEARS,INCLUDING GETTING HIM TO THE BARBER!!!!!!! HE WILL BE IN MY HEART ,I WAS GLAD TO HAVE HAD THE TIME TO SAY...

I'm very sorry for your loss. Dick was so thoughtful and considerate. He was very good to Aunt Shirl and to Grammie. He visited her every week. Just a really nice guy who was very proud of his kids.

I just found out from a family member that Richard had passed. I haven't been in Pennsylvania since my last visit in 2006. His wife (my Aunt) passed while I was deployed in the Gulf of Oman a few years back. Richard was a good man w/ a kind heart. Never had anything negative to say. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. My deepest condolences.

First i wanna express my condolences to the McCandlless family. I knew Dick for a short time and took care of him as his nurse.He was such a wonderful man and always smiling.You will be missed and i hope your family find peace in knowing you are in a better place.God Bless~~~~~~~~

Richard was one of the most wonderful, kindhearted men I know. Years ago I helped him sell X-mas trees and Easter flowers,at Georges foodliner where we talked and laughed and he fed me Pott's hotdogs and donuts. I had so much fun selling stuff with him it certainly wasn't work. I also worked with him in the Emergency Room. I am so sorry for your loss, it was my honor to know him. May the Lord be with you and your family in the days and weeks to come.
