Read MoreWe used to see Uncle Dick almost every week when he dropped our dad off from working at Berkshire News. He loved to tease us! He can now be with our Dad! We have video footage of Uncle Dick from New Year's Eve in the 1960's. How everyone was so young. Our prayers are with you. Jack (John E.) Knockstead

Dear Aunt Pit & Uncle Bob, please accept my deepest sympathies. Uncle Dick was a special person to me. He introduced me to comic books and racing. In my formative years he provided a wonderful role model of self assuredness, integrity, and selflessness when I needed it most. I continue to carry those lessons with me today. He was a special person and will be sorely missed. My condolences.

Dear Bob, Phyllis & Family,
I want to extend my sympathy to you,and prayers for "Uncle Dick," as our children always and still do call him.
He was a great guy and had a soft heart, although he never wanted us to know.
We will miss him.
