Dear Marcia, Lisa, and Mike:
We were all very deeply saddened to hear of the loss of your husband and father.
Dick was the very nicest neighbor anyone could ask for and we are all the very luckiest people to have had the good fortune to have known him. Dick would always wave and say hello and ask how we were doing, and he was always smiling and laughing.
We are so sorry for your loss and send you our heartfelt sympathies.
Most sincerely,
darlene panara

Uncle Dick, to know him was to like him. From Edward St. to Main St., man did he know his stuff. If theres hot rods in heaven, Uncle Dick will have them purring. He will be missed by many.

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some people become friends and stay awhile leaving beautiful footprints on our hearts.
And we are never quite the same because we have made a good friend. Rest easy, my good friend.

Too Rough For Heaven
Dear Lord, we think a mistake's been made
And we feel it's right and proper
To inform you of this error made
And ask you to consider our offer
You see...you took someone from us
Who's too rough around the edges
And would be better off on earth with us
Than up with you in heaven
And it wouldn't be a hardship
For us to take him back
Just send him back to us...safe and sound
And there'll be no questions asked
We're even prepared to list the reasons
That he'd be better off right here
And we're sure when they're considered
Your choice will be quite clear
He's just not ready for heaven yet
Right now he'd find it quite a task
But if you'll give him a few more years
We'll work on fixing that
First, you'll find he prefers a pair of dickies pants
And well-worn shoes or boots
To whatever it is that you wear up in heaven
Be it robes or business suits
For he's much to hard a worker
To keep clothes pristine...he'd make a fuss!
And though you need hard workers in heaven
He'd still be better off with us
Second, when you consider
The language for which he's known
His colorful words would shock the angels
So you might want to send him home
For though you'd respect that he speaks the truth
And "calls things as they are"
Frankly, we need more truth like his here on earth
Heaven is just too far
He doesn't have perfect table manners
He prefers bourbon to a glass of wine
He's just not ready for your heavenly feasts
His manners aren't that refined
And we realize you appreciate his kindness
And the respect he's rightly earned
From those of us privileged to know him
And for the children left to yearn.

And we realize you appreciate his kindness And the respect he's rightly earned From those of us privileged to know him But it's one more reason he should be returned
Yes...his family knows his heart of gold And you're right..there never existed a truer friend Okay...we can see why you want him up in heaven But he's someone, upon which, we depend
And so we, his family and dearest friends Are asking you to change your mind Give us a few more years with him And we'll smooth his rough edges over time
And you may feel he's already ready To be with you forever Yet even knowing his goodness We can't bear to lose him either
So give us a decade or..two...more with him That's all we simply ask Please return him to his family and friends For we'll gladly take him back!

Marcia, Dick was probably my favorite of all the friends I met thru Johnny. I always enjoyed visiting you guys went we were in Buffalo and was more than happy when you visited us. The way Dick handled my mother fixing the things wrong with her car only in her mind was a perfect definition of a special special person that will be missed greatly by all that new him.
