One night just after Grandma Hammer passed away, Uncle Dick and I sat up talking until well after midnight, discussing everything from nuclear power to the Gulf Stream current. Uncle Dick followed my sailboat travels on facebook and regularly added interesting comments that surprised me because I didn't know he had "been there done that," too. It was then that I realized the deep intellect and wide range of experiences that shaped this outstanding, well-traveled and extremely compassionate human being. He was more than a fantastic Santa of an Uncle (although that was awesome enough). He also contributed to the world around him on a larger scale. I am really glad we had that talk and I do celebrate a life well lived, smiling through tears. Looking forward to seeing you all when loved ones gather this summer to laugh and remember this marvelous man.

I'll never forget the night you were here playing cards (on your way up north to fish) and I was on your lap, playing possum so you would have to carry me to bed. You lost a button on your shirt and when I started to laugh I was sooooo in trouble!! Love knowing you are in a better place and can see your smile always :)

Uncle Dick you will always be a part of our hearts and souls. You will be missed and thought of everyday. You gave the greatest hugs! I have so many great memories of you living right down the road when we were growing up, playing football in your front yard, spending the nights and driving you crazy with all of girls running around when we spent the night. Love you always and forever!

All my condolences to his family. I was once a part of that family. It has been many years since I saw him but he always had a special place in my heart. The memories of him (and his parents) make me smile. I never forgot him and never will.

You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I went to school with Dick at DeVilbiss High School. I'm not too sure, did he go to Whittier School also? I know you'll find comfort in your memories of a very nice person.
