Richard (Dick) , You were so loved by so many people in this community. I loved you so very much. I never had a brother of my own, you were my Bubba!! I will never forget all of our great times together, our laughs til my stomach literally hurt. Our football parties, cooking rotel & chili. The famous Christmas party that we had that year at your house. You were one of a kind. They don't make them like you anymore. You were a hero and that's the way u will always remain in my mind. Fly high bubba and watch over us. This isn't goodbye, like Randi told me the other night...she doesn't like that word and I don't either so I will say see you on the other side. I love you!!
