Kathy, so very sorry to hear about Dick. I always enjoyed our friendship and hearing about all of your travels. I knew Dick from GE, Sierra Club and Ollie classes The last time I spent talking with Dick was at the GE Retirees luncheon. My thoughts and prayers are with you❤❤

I first met Dick as GE colleagues in Toulouse, France. We really enjoyed our friendship and stayed in touch, although sporadically over the years. Our family still remembers and cherishes their visit to see us in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. The Aghajanian Family in Ottawa, Ontario.

I saw Dick at olli classes. My husband Alvin saw him usually at Innings in Sierra club where my husband was the Innings Chair. They both loved nature and Alvin envied all his great trips and ability to do it.
What is ironic or just fate is they both passed away the same month. Alvin died of sepsis dec 3rd and if there is an afterlife, I am sure he was there to greet him. Kathy, I am so sorry for the overwhelming grief you feel. I am still feeling the emptiness.
May your family bring you comfort. That is where the real blessing is.

I am so, so sorry for your loss and will be holding you all in the Light as you gather to say goodbye. I hope you all find comfort as you share memories of Dick. I last saw him at my parents' 60th wedding anniversary party last July and had a wonderful conversation with him. He will be missed.

There are not words...Dick Hellmann is my cousin, and though we live very far apart, we stayed connected. He had just showed my son and his family the Hellmann Lumber connections in Covington. It meant, and means the world to all of us. Grief is not a strong enough word right now...
