Joan, we feel we've lost a beloved member of our family. Our lives have been enriched by so many fond memories of our dear neighbor and friend. Our family favorite is watching the ongoing battle between Dick and those darn tree squirrels. :)
There has been no better place to spend 25 years of family life then right across the court from all you Nixons!
Dick will live in our hearts forever...
With Love,
Carole, Greg, Michelle, and Justin

The "gang" at the "O" club table will miss you. It was 27 years ago that our special group of people talented in many disciplines got together to solve the problems of the world.
It was a pleasure knowing Dick and members of his family. Our thoughts are with them in this time of grief.
