Dick and Marla, your Dad is one of a very few people I have known who experienced real joy in living. A man of conviction and character who leaves behind a legacy of seemingly endless humor ... stories to be shared for generations. This world would not have been as much fun without him, and remembering that will make us all smile.

The obituary is a wonderful tribute to your parents. I remember them both as the "salt of the earth". Such givers. A legacy for you and all who knew them. I am grateful that their path crossed ours years ago.

Sincerely, Annette (Lindgren) Andersen
