Yesterday

Hey Dick,myself you and your brothers were always together growing up. Seems as though we were in trouble of some kind or another most of the time. I know we grew apart a little later in our lives, but it seems as though it was just yesterday! I have always loved you buddy! Glad we had a chance to connect before your passing. Until we meet again my friend.

Yesterday

Richard Dann made a difference and left a legacy! He was an amazing man, who cared more about others than he did about himself. The great memories I have fishing and camping with my uncle and Richard are of the best of my life. Richard Dann lives on through these beautiful memories. I was blessed to know Richard, like anyone else who was privileged to share any time with him.
