Dear Patti & Family,
My deepest sympathy to you and your family at the loss of what sounds like a wonderful caring family man--much like the father we lost 7 years ago. I remember your kindness when my father passed and how you participated at the funeral mass. I hope you have all the loving support of friends and family that you need. Take care.

Our prayers & thoughts are w/ the entire family...

"I Love You, Dad, Grandpa, Great-
Grandpa"

What can you say to someone who has
always been one of the most essential parts of your world; someone who took you by the hand when you were little & helped to show the way?

What do you say to someone who stood by to help you grow, providing love, strength & support so you could become the person you are today?

What can you say to let him know...

Dear Wilterdink family,
Please accept our sympathy. Dick and your family touched our lives for many years at CC. He was a good man and we will not forget him.
God bless all of you.
Coach Fred and Rosemarie Jamroz

Dear Friends:
I was so sorry to learn of Dick's death. I have known him for 31 years. Dick has always been a supportive, kind and considerate man. I will especially remember his real and deep commitment to his Catholic faith and his wonderful sense of humor.
God grant him eternal rest and peace. May his wife, family and friends know that he touched many lives and will be lovingly remembered.

DEAR DIANE AND MARY ESPECIALLY, BUT THIS IS MEANT FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY,
I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT LITTLE ELSE SINCE LAST NIGHT'S VIGIL SERVICE. THE THOUGHTS SO LOVINGLY EXPRESESSED BY THE GRANDCHILDREN HAD QUITE AN EMPACT ON ME. WHAT WAS SO OBVIOUS BY THE MANY REMPARKS MADE ABOUT THEIR GRANDPA WAS THAT THESE KIDS GOT IT. THEY GOT "IT". THE "IT" WAS NOT SO MUCH THE PRESENCE OF THEIR GRANDPA AT ALL OF THIER EVENTS,ALTHOUGH THIS WAS A WONDERFUL EXAMPLE OF FAMILY LOVE, SUPPORT AND NURTURING. ...

Dear Joan and Family,
I was deeply impressed with the service for Dick this morning and was pleased to be a part of giving him our well deserved honor and praise. All the words of praise were right on the mark and spoke volumes about what a great man he was.
Loooking around at the large crowd in the Church made me realize something special about Dick, that while I was in fact only one of many, many friends in his life he had the great gift of making me feel like I was one of his...

Dear Wilterdink family, You all have always been in my thoughts & prayers. I can only say that keep the faith and the love that your family has. Richard & Joan created a wonderful family and I know that his legacy will forever be remembered. I know that Richard left an endearing mark on all who met him. Tom left us suddenly about 30 years ago, and now Richard has joined his son. Your old friend
