Richard O'Quinn Mitchell Jr.

Gaye. I know what you are going through and I know that it is not easy. No one can tell you what it feels like but I have been there too. I have wonderful memories of living next-door to you and Dick, from the horses to the tractor to the fish fries, and arranging travel in Europe. I hope all is as well as it can be for you and hope that you will email me or call if there is anything I can do to help. Cell phone is 567-1700. Ron

Dick and I have known each other since our childhood. We both graduated from Leon High School. In our Junior year we both enlisted in the Naval Reserve and attended Boot Camp in Great Lakes Illinois. Dick's father Richard Sr. presided over the initiation ceremony. I regret not meeting with Richard over these past years. I will miss you Dick, God Bless you.

Dickie was my friend, an unfailingly kind and good man. We shared many old political stories. I share your grief.

We coached Cub League and Senior Major League together, always about the kids having fun. Great guy.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Gaye, we extend our deepest condolences and may the Peace of the Lord be with you and your family during this difficult time. Bill and Kathleen Wilder, Charlotte, NC.
