Hey Dick - I'm sorry I didn't get to say good bye. You're a gentle soul who will be missed. I'm also sorry that life moved too fast to spend more time with you getting to know you better. I know that your kids and grand kids will miss the time that has been robbed from them.

I know Joan is in good hands with Julie around - Julie really does have a good soul - but once again life has been moving way too fast.

That's it - until we meet again...

Dad-
I'm glad you got to know your grandkids. Thank you for being my father... I know you weren't always there for us, but you were there when we needed you. I wish we could have spent more time together. I know it's not the same telling you this here, but somehow you'll know how much we loved you. You will be missed, and loved, always. Joan, I am sorry for your loss.....

Mike, Patty, Austin, Ashley.........

I am so sorry to hear of Richard's passing. He was my Supervisor & Friend @ ITT & Philips Electronics back in 1966 until 1993. Joan, I am very sorry for your loss. Richard was a fun guy, we used to pull pranks on him, which he took in stride. To his family, my sympathy. May he always be remembered by all who knew him. My heartfelt Thanks goes out to you, Richard for the memories.
