Not sure what to say?

It's a day to hear of Dick "Duke" Piper's passing this month. We went to school together from grades 1 through 12; in grammar school, we were in the same classes all 8 years. I remember years of so many of us playing on the school playground together at recess. If I remember correctly, he was our 8th grade class president, too.

Dear Patty and Danny, I´m very sorry to hear about the loss of your brother. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Tom and Pat, My condolences on the loss of Richard a/k/a Dukie. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. God Bless!

My deepest sympathy to Tom and Kris and the entire family. He had a very impressive life. Love Robin.

So sad to hear of Dick's passing. I graduated grammar school and high school with Dick. My wife (Gail McAllister) also graduated high school with him. They were in the same homeroom. I tried to reach him back in 2020/2021 for our 50th class reunion. Would have loved to connect with him again. He always impressed me with how smart he was. Such a talented man. RIP.

I was sorry to learn of Dick's passing in the Manchester Union Leader. Dick and I were at Memorial HS together and, while he was 1 year behind me, we were both Drama Club members and were in productions together. Such a nice guy. It warmed my heart to read about his success in life, both personally and professionally.. My sincerest condolences to his family and friends
