Dick was a great guy, proud grandfather and excellent electrician. He did quite a bit of work for us over the past 15-20 years in our old Buffalo home. He always found a way to get the job done while maintaining a great big smile. My wife and I will miss him!

Our whole family is saddened by Dick´s passing. Dick was so friendly and helpful. He always offered to help with our sailboat and later our jetskis at the beach. We´ve enjoyed knowing him over these many years since he bought the beach house. He will be missed.

I will never forget the presence of Dick on the beach in Angola. He was a great neighbor and friend to all. Always smiling and helpful in every way. No favor ever to big. His tools and skills always in demand. I will be forever listening for his 3 wheeler to come around the corner. He will be missed greatly! Sue Vanderzyden
