While it is difficult for those left behind, we have fond memories of a wonderful brother, uncle, cousin, friend.
Death HAS NO sting; the grave HAS NO victory.
We will see and embrace him again and it will be a GRAND reunion!

Cousin Dickie and family,
I have a lot of fond memories of him - he always was so protecting of his younger cousins. He was the gruff billy goat on the outside but the teddy bear on the inside. I'm glad to have known the teddy bear and will miss him. Robert and family, Lana, Lois, Lona and Lora and families - I can only imagine the pain you are going through losing your brother. I certainly hope you keep hold of the good memories and know he is no longer suffering. Marsha - he loved you that we know and thanks for being there for him for all these years.

Our deepest sympathies. Richard was a very kind person and we enjoyed having him work for so many years at our home and business. We have always said Richard was a salt of the earth kind of guy. He will be greatly missed.

We remember: Playing Yahtzee till the wee hours, hunting for just the right x-mas tree, 4 wheelin in Ossippe, how to tie the perfect root ball, how to pay it forward, watching Boxing, hanging with Marsha & Dick ....all with a big smile. We will miss you Dick. As rough as your edges were, you always was a marshmallow and would be there for anyone.
Love Bill & Tracey
