I have known Dick for over 40 years, and he was a very well loved person. He was always busy with his gardening, camping, boating, and his home, and he loved his family very much. He was a close neighbor of ours, and an excellent friend, and he and I had exchanged our talents to help one another. He will be sadly missed by everyone. I will always miss him, as being an excellent person, and dear friend. May God Bless him, and his family. My sincere condolences to his family. May God grant him peace.

Madeline, Deb, Rick, Ron & families,
We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time. Remembering that he lived his life to the fullest each day may bring you some comfort. I remember how much he loved boating and when he purchased his first one and the many hours that he spent with all of you out on the lakes and dams. Those are just some of the precious memories that you will always have. You can find peace now that he is in God's care.
