To all the Family, you have my deepest sympathies and condolences on the passing of Dick. Rich, John, Steve, and Mike, your Father was a Grade A, Top Notch Fellow; they don't make them like Dick anymore. He was always the nicest and warmest fellow to spend time with and he always made everyone feel welcome and like he really cared about them. I have many fond memories of him from childhood. I know he will be missed by the many people whose lives he touched. God Bless Him; and deepest condolences to you.

Dick was a man of integrity, who held his faith steadfast through challenging and changing times. He sustained his love and compassion for all, even those he struggled to understand. It is a joy to know that he now knows a timeless Peace.

My Uncle better known to us kids as UD has been a Dad to me all my life. When my own Father was working shift work or sleeping it was my Uncle that was always there to fill in and take my brother Dave I and I boating, miniature golf, driving range, Cub Scout Camp Outs and much more. He has always been my personal Super Hero. He is the one person that I would always go to for advice. He was non-judgmental, inspirational, spiritual, generous, loyal, funny, kind, and always there for me and my family. For me, this loss is significant and will leave a huge Void in my life. UD's passing is like losing my Father all over again. I grateful for all the Special Memories that my family has of and with UD over many years. Although I will miss him as much as anyone, I am at ease knowing that he no longer suffers. He never deserved any of that. There is no question that UD is already sitting with his Heavenly Father. I love this wonderful man and will think of him everyday. God Bless UD and everyone of his Family and Friends with Peace and Joy. UD has made each of us much greater people for having known him. God Speed UD.
