Not sure what to say?

Dear Geneva, Iris and Family,
I'm so sorry about the loss of your Dad. I know he was very loved, and loved you guys, from the stories of him you've shared with us. Keep the memories alive, and your Dad will always be with you in your heart.
Love, Julie

Sally,

We all have fondess memories of your dear husband. Mine are of those times spent learning from him.

Dick had become my mentor and none better could have been desired. His loss is no small matter. His guidance will not be forgotten. Never enough, he'd imparted much and for that you have my heartfelt gratitude.

The Christmas parties in Orlando were fun.

We'll not forget him.

Sue's comments of 1-17 brought back other adventures Dick and I shared. I, also, worked on the Wyo ranch, with Dick, near Big Horn-the ranch was owned by an English Lord (Lord Oliver Wallop-his son(?) later became a Senator from Wyo. The "big" city of Sheridan was nearby and Dick and I got quite an education in that wide open town ('50s). Dick and I also worked in a flood cleanup, in Souix City, IA, one summer-the Floyd river overflowed its banks and we worked at a Sue Bee Honey factory...

Thank you Roger for remembering Dick's talent as an artist. Had he pursued the art world there is no doubt in my mind his work would have been well known.

When I was a 5 year old Dick would have me crawl around on the floor and jump in place and do other antics as he would quickly sketch me, later he would draw up a cartoon strip in which I got to be the main character. As he listened to The Sons of the...

Sally and family, Working with Dick was always a pleasure. I never saw or heard him get angry, a true gentleman, he was... in a class of his own. My husband, Gary, thoroughly enjoyed sitting next to him at the Christmas party two years ago, talking, laughing and sharing stories. I found a saying, inspired by an Eskimo legend and I wanted to share it with you... "Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to...

Sally,

I want to thank you for allowing me the opportunity to know Dick. I have had business dealings with him for the past 10 years and I could always count on Dick to be an up front,honest individual and a joy to talk with. I am sorry for your loss, may the Lord comfort you and your family at this time.

God Bless

Sally and Family, Dick, your husband of 44 years and my business associate of 10 years, was a real man. Strength, dedication, a laser-like focus, intelligence and loyalty. Dick personified what's right about the world. I will miss him too.
