I will always be Daddy's little girl, You will always be with me in my heart, you will never be forgotten, RIP Dad I love you

There are many stories one can share about Dick. He was my brother-in-law. Always kind, gentle, caring. He taught me how drive as a teenager. I felt relaxed because he was relaxed. He even let me use his car!! It's an honor to have known Dick and to have always been welcomed by him.

My deepest sympathy -- my prayers are with you and your family at this time of your great loss.

I grew up on South 4th Street across the street from WINKING GROCERS and my brother that served in the Korea War would received a 78 or 45 RPM every time EDDY ARNOLD Brought out a NEW SONG Dick would Purchase the 78 or 45 Rpm Record and would send it to my brother In Korea and he extended a lot of credit to people who could not get by through the week I am in deep sorrow for his Family Losts and I know & Pray he will forever with our Loard Jesus Christ

On behalf of a grateful nation, we have lost a comrade and hero. I remember as a child meeting Dick at Winking's Store on South 4th Street, his wife June and the boys. He was always giving and trusting the community and country in which he served. My final salute to this hero, veteran, father, uncle, grandfather, husband and dear friend. You will never be forgotten and we are all eternally grateful for your service and sacrifice to this community and the United States of America for defending...

Please accept my deepest sympathies.
