To the Morrison Family,
I worked with Dick at AMP/Tyco and he was a great co-worker. He was always joking around. Even after I left Tyco when Dick would see me out and about he would stop and talk. My thoughts and prayers are with the family throughout this very tough time.

Sandy and Jeff,
I will always remember the fond memories of Dick. What a kidder he was. I will forever remember riding my bike to your house, selling Girl Scout cookies, or anything from school and him always giving me a hard time telling me that you left because you knew that I was coming out to sell things to you. He would always say to me when he found out the price of Girl Scout cookies "How much do you want from me?", "that is way too much!" I will remember all the times that he took me fishing in Delaware. The times that he laughed at me carrying water for my horse.( I wore more then I was carrying) I could go on and on with the memories. He was a wonderful person, just like his mother was, and will be sadly missed, but his memory will always be remembered in my heart. If you need anything, or a shoulder to cry on, or an ear to listen, please know that I will be there for you. May God bless you each, and I pray that each day will be more comforting for you.
How you can show support
