Dear Liz & Family,

So sorry to hear that Dickey had died, please accept our sincere condolences. Some of my fondest memories are of the rides to Long Island with Mom and Dad to visit and swim in the pool. Dickey always had a welcoming smile on his face. He is now in a better place, out of pain and at peace. With love, Joanne & Bob
