Thank you to all the friends and loved ones who will read this. Dad's passing was a truely loving experience. He was so sick. On the night he passed his room was filled with God's spirt. It was a loving experience. During last moments he raised his head as if he met Jesus with his head up and straight on. I thank Jesus for the ease in which he passed. I will love and miss him until we are rejoined in heaven.

My condolences to the entire Dick Pierson family. I grew up a few years behind Dick but knew him and the entire Pierson family well for many years in Navarre, Mound High School, and in Scottsdale.
