Not sure what to say?

Thinking of you, Kathy.

Over the years I had the pleasure of working with, playing golf with and knowing Dick's family. Many thanks old friend. Rest in peace.

I worked with Dick at Armco and always had great respect for him as an Engineer and as a person. I especially enjoyed his dry wit and humor. He was one of the good ones.

Kathy, and Dicks children-I so admire long strong marriages ,and Dick and Kathy surely are a shining example.Dick was loved and respected by his family and friends and was a very nice man.I worked with Kathy in Raytown Schools and always admired their family dynamic.God bless you my friend, Kathy, and all you family members.Cathie Simons

Kathy, thinking of you and sending prayers to you and your family.

What I will always remember about my Father is His giving spirit at Christmas and Birthdays.

The best memories are those trips South of KC. my Father took me to; to Branson & Bella Vista when I was just a kid. I enjoyed swimming at the pools, playing mini golf. Fishing (wasn´t my favorite). The thing I liked most was when he taught me how to water ski, loved the fresh air on my face and in my hair, the smells- smells of the lake, and the speed of the boat. Very grateful for that childhood experience. Very fun. Thanks dad.
