Dear Ickes family,
I am sorry for your loss. I remember that years ago, when he first moved to the neighborhood, my mom used to joke/nag with Dick about wearing his motorcycle helmet. He probably didn't enjoy it too much, but was nice to her anyway. Please rely on his neighbors if you should need anything, and please accept our sympathy for your loss.
