Richard Dale "Dick" Petty

Richard petty, what a loss, to Hiedi and her family, I'm so sorry. Richard was one of the best persons I've ever met. I still think about his handshake all the time, I miss you hiedi, I know your doing good. Your friend Duane

As I sit here at work in the very early hours of the morning, I am thinking of you Dad. Kyle and I talk of you often reminiscing of the stories you would tell as you two walked along looking for the best fishing spot. This world is so different now Dad. All our icons are slowly fading away leaving those of us remaining with only memories. We are truly the lucky one's though. We knew what it was like to know you, be around you, and listen to your wisdom. We are forever grateful for those...

i miss you so much every single day! i turned 18 and i am working hard and i know you would be proud i love you!

The one and only, Kyle's Grandpa, you would be so proud of him. He has grown to be such a compassionate young man. He definitely has a lot of his dad in him too! He talks of you often and misses those fishing trips. I can only hope that you are enjoying your days in the mountains of heaven. We love you and miss you so. Love Kyle and Lori Petty.

I miss you more everyday Dad. Nine years, nothing has felt settled since then. I wish there was a phone so I could hear your voice and tell you I love you. I wish there was a way to give you a hug and a smooch again too. Thank you for watching over us and giving us strength to get thru things. I see your signs and know you are there. I love you so very much Dad.

I will never forget you were the one who taught me to drink from a straw and how to do most things i do today. I miss you more and more each day. Not having you here is a piece of me i will never get back. I love you grandpa. thank you from being the best of the best. you were taken to soon. anyways, thank you and i miss you dearly. Love you grandpa!♡

Dick...sometimes it seems like just yesterday that we were still together...but it has been a long time since I heard your voice & felt your touchI miss you so much every day❤I Love you

Your birthday is getting close....I guess that's why you haven't left my thoughts for even a moment in the last few days. I miss you every day but you have literally been in the forefront of my brain for the last few days. I have SEVEN grand children dad....I wish they all knew you and you them. They each have their own unique little quirks AND I know you love the babies but there's one that I KNOW you would enjoy. His name is CHANCE. Just cuz you got a special kick out of the ornery...
