Although I have not seen your family in a while, I have many fond memories of my years as your neighbor. I don't remember ever seeing Mr. Dicky without a smile. I will keep you all in my prayers and you should always remember to keep the happy times in your hearts. God Bless all the Powers during this difficult time. In Friendship, Cathy Williams (Mother of Kait, Jen and Connor Manning)

To The Powers Family:
You probably don't know my name, but I was in the ICU waiting room with you all week. My grandchildren were there with me last Thursday afternoon (I'm Brandon's Grandma). I was glad to see that Brandon was a little bit of a comic distraction in your time of grief and I really meant it when I returned later to tell you what a special family you have. Our family has been keeping you in our prayers and feel we are stronger and a little closer having spent time with your family. I hope your fond memories make your time of grieving easier and the closeness of your family continues to be your strength.

Deepest sympathy to the family of Dick Powers. He was a man who enjoyed life and loved his family. His smile and pleasant personality brought sunshine to everyone. It was a pleasure to know him as he delivered mail to Pinewood Elementary for many years.
May you find comfort and strength in the Lord during this difficult time.

To the Powers family,
We are so saddened by the loss of Mr. Dicky. We have many fond memories of him from when Mrs. Betsy was Anna's daycare mom years ago. Anna and he had such a cute relationship; and the 2 of you were like a 3rd set of grandparents for her. He was a wonderful person, and his love for his family showed clearly in all he did. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, God Bless You all.

Our deepest sympathy goes to the Powers Family,and Dicky Sister Elaine Denmyer.Dick Powers was a good Husband,Father and all around family man. Dicky was always great to be with anytime, even when he didn't feel so good, he would always smile as if nothing was bothering him. The loss of this brother-inlaw so close is diffuicult to bear. We will miss him very much and we will share your grief. May god bless his soul that he may rest in peace.

To the entire Powers family, My sincere sympathy goes out to all of you. I will miss Dick coming in every day to pick up the mail here at Sparks ES. He talked many times about his Betsy, the grandkids, his boys or his 10 days at the races every year. He seemed to look forward to those days off. I pray that each of you will find peace and strength in your love for each other.

My deepest sympathy to the family at this time of loss of a very special person. Dick always had a smile to pass along, had positive comments always and was pure of heart. His body will be greatly missed but his spirit will always be fondly remembered. God Bless the Powers Family, may our prayers ease your pain.

We met Dick Powers thru his sister Elaine. I was so impressed by this dear persons mild manner and caring. He never complained and always wore a smile. He made me feel that all the world was good.
I really thought this was a very special person and I wished that I had the opportunity to know him and
Betsy better.
May your hearts burden be lighter as you remember what he has given the world through just being himself.
Love sent Selma and Leo
