Sorry for your loss and sorry distance prohibits me from paying my respects in person. I respected Dick more than I can say. He was a model family man, citizen, and friend. I will miss him. I expect the girls [ladies, now] and Rich have enough bright memories to carry them through this dark time. God bless you all.
