To my dear friend Tami. My prayers go out to you and your family in the very recent loss of your father. Losing a parent is SO hard, and no matter what the circumstances, we are never ready to say goodbye to those we love so dearly. As you cherish all the memories you have with your dad... hold them close in your heart... and he will be with you always. Blessings, my friend.

Dear Gretch,
Prayers and hugs to you,Gretchen. So, wish I was not so far away. Many fond memories of a great guy, even if those hunting stories were a tad elaborate! Always there for a helping hand with a smile on his face. He will be remembered as a true friend to those he touched.

Dick... I just talked to you a couple of weeks ago on the telephone and you never mentioned your affliction. We spent so many thousands of hours supervising the tire room at Goodyear, and I hadn't seen you for several years, yet you spared me what you were going through. You never told me, or I would have been there for you. You were a special person to me, and I will never forget you. Colleen, Robin, Kathy and I will always have a special place in our hearts for you. Rest in peace ole...

Dear Gretchen, The years are many that I've known you and Dick. Neither of us knew the outcome of the guys we married. I feel your loss as I did my own. I will miss Dick's smiling face and warm hugs at the auctions we frequently attended. I wish you the very best and hope you know that you will one day be able to join him again. God be with you and give you peace. If you need anything just pick up the phone. My condolences to you. Mrs. William (Eleanor) Creger

Gretchen it was nice to see Dick the other day for a short visit. The tap on my shoulder was for us to stop in and see him. Glad we did! Comfort for you all. Jane and Muriel

Just found out about Dick; sure was glad to see him at class reunion. My husband worked with at Goodyear. We sure will miss him. Sondra(Larson) and Robert Gilbertson

Altho it has been 5 years since I left ADCO, I'll never forget Dick Reed. He was an inspiration to me in my own cancer battle. Dick always had a warm smile and a firm handshake when we saw each other. He was one of the good guys....always.
