Very sorry to lose my "fun uncle." The last time I saw him was at Bill's funeral & he seemed in good health & spirits then. I'd hoped to see him again, but that's a good way to remember him.

Gerri...so sorry to hear of Dick's passing. The last of my mother's siblings. I like to think they were all waiting for him...with his father Ernie, brother Fred and bother Bill on the pianos and my mother Margaret on the organ his sister Winnie and Mother Florence looking on! Hope you are safe and healthy in these difficult times. Brother David has my contact information. I am in Florida now.
