Marie, Melissa, Mallory and the McKinnon Family,
My family and I were saddened to learn of Dick's death and our thoughts are with you and your family in this time of sorrow. Dick was a very caring man and no matter where we would run into him, he would always go out of his way to say hello and ask about the family. He was a sincere man and a funny one too. We always walked away laughing hysterically at one of his funny jokes or stories. He will truly be missed. We cannot begin to imagine what you are feeling, but let us share our heart-felt condolences to you and your family.
May the passage of time heal your grief,
The Brennan Family
