Dick was a lucky man. He had 2 families that loved him, not just one. He also was a big part of mine growing up. Living with him was like a front seat at a stand up comedy show. He made me laugh until I cried, many times. He loved to dance where ever he was. I know he loved his children and thought of them often. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
