Dear Joanne and family, Dick enjoyed life to the fullest and it was a joy to be in his company. We will miss his enthusiasm and sense of humor. He is now at peace and enjoying the company of those who went before him. We will miss him but we are now comforted that his well fought battle is over and that he is at peace. Tim & Barb
