How Wonderful is GOD'S grace to reach for and welcome Dick into Eternity with Jesus. I first met Dick when he played in my brother's big band - Eddie Koul . I had just started playing piano with them, and Dick was very kind to me. Then in 2017, he moved into Sentinel Pointe Retirement home, attended a Sunday worship service, and spied me on the piano and immediately welcomed me with a Godly hug! Then, we arranged piano/clarinet programs and were featured in many services the next couple...

I´ve known Dick for many years. He was an outstanding musician and friend. I first met him when he joined the West Michigan Concert Winds. I was very impressed with his talent as a clarinetist, especially when he played the opening solo to Rhapsody in Blue! I was fortunate in my early years directing the Lakeshore Jazz Ensemble to have a conversation with Dick and he asked if I would give him the opportunity to play saxophone with the band. I said yes and the decision was a good one. We all...

It was a pleasure playing music with Dick for many years in the West Michigan Concert Winds, the Lakeshore Big Band, musical theater orchestras and more - he even played at our wedding. He will be fondly remembered for his musicianship and as a friend.

My late husband and I used to love watching him play in the Winds. My sympathy is with his family. I am sure he will be greatly missed.

Dick & Shirley were the first to welcome us to Bloomfield Acres. Their friendship acclimated us to our new "home town", Muskegon. RIP dear Dick.
