Sandy and family so sorry for your loss and mine too. I always look forward to Dick's phone calls and his caring for others. It is difficult to move on when you know Dick is gone ... gone beyond our reach, leaving this mortal world behind. Nevertheless, Dick has left us memories that no one can take away, memories that will bring forth a smile and conquer the painful tears. It is time to remember him smiling, until we see Dick next in heavenly bliss. God Bless you and the family.

I am deeply sorry for the family's loss. I never really knew Mr. Huffer, but if his children and grand children are anything like he was, then he was a wonderful man. He has left a great testament and legacy in the lives of such a wonderful family!
God bless and know that he and the whole family are in my prayers!
