I was sad to find out that Uncle Dick passed. Growing up he was an awesome uncle! I loved being around him and he was such a character. He taught me how to play poker and taught me some really great one liners when I was little, that I still use tot his day! I'm so sorry to hear of his passing so late! HUGS to you all!
