Hi Pam,
Ralph and I are so very saddened to learn of Dick slipping on up to Heaven's Gates. We remember his incredibly funny stories and I often think of them now with a smile on my face. Gosh, it was a time in our lives when we shared so many great times in Butch's, etc. One thing for sure, he absolutely ADORED you!! Try to think of him as the brightest star in the sky and each time you gaze upon it----extra twinkles with come your way.
Our love and blessings,
Helen & Ralph Applegate
