Deb, John, Sara,Joe,and Jessica,
It has been one full year since Dick has gone. I often think I hear him raking, putting up the ladder, or working in the barbecue. When doing yard wortk I often think: Dick would do it this way or Dick wouldn't like those weeds there, I better pull them.
He is still here protecting the neighborhood and giving out sound homeowners advice when I ask him.
I will never forget the squirrel.....
love Laurie and Gordon

To the Young family:
I worked with Dick many years ago at ProColor. He always had a smile, and was willing to help a "newcomer" with a multitude of questions. I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Dick Young Family, so sorry to hear of Dick's passing!
Dick personally spent multitudes of hours caring for his "customer families" at Procolor. Any customer needing a solution for his photo problem received the best, Geo Eastman would have been proud of his success. We all loved him, he was Mr. Procolor to every photo studio owner and photographer!

Dear Young family,
We believe in the power of prayer and friendship and offer you both at this most difficult time. Our deepest sympathy for your loss of Richard.
The priests of the Sacret Heart have received a Memorial Gift, together with the request that the soul of your loved one be remembered daily in their masses and prayers as long as the grace of God is needed. May this thoughtful tribute bring solace and consolation to you, as it likewise helps to spread the kingdom of God on earth.
OK, we're married, now let's roll!

Dear Deb, John, Sarah, Joe & Jessica,
Loved ones live on in the hearts and memories of family and friends.
Dick is now safe within God's care, and you are safe within the love of those who care so much for you.
At the service, it was an honor for me to present the First Reading from the Book of Sirach. We found the words you chose to be so compelling, I thought I would include them here.
"Reflect on the teachings of the Lord: let God's commandments be your constant meditation. A faithful friend is a sturdy shelter. He who finds one finds a treasure. A faithful friend is beyond price; no sum can balance his worth.
Happy the husband of a good wife, as they bring joy to their children; peaceful and full are their lives.
A good husband is a generous gift from God; be he rich or poor, his heart is content and a smile is ever on his face.
The good father loves his children, that they may be his joy when they grow up. The father who educates his children can boast of them among his intimates and shows his delight in them among his friends.
At the father's death, he will seem not dead, since he leaves after him others like himself. He looks upon them through life with joy, and even in death without regret. Gladness of heart is the very life of such a father; happiness prolongs his days."
Take care, we love you all.
Lee & Dick enjoy a picnic in the woods.

Dear Deb, John & Sarah, Joe and Jessica -- Saying farewell to Dick, so suddenly and so young, feels jarring. We're lifting you up with our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Dick clearly lives on through his love for each of you and the wonderfully solid loving family he nurtured. You are the beautiful legacy that lives on. For all he created -- happy memories, a loving marriage and home, outstanding young people, the example of a life well-lived -- we are filled with gratitude and will honor his memory.
Peace to you . . . in time.
