We were so shocked and saddened to hear of Uncle Dick's passing. He was such a kind and warm hearted man, we all loved him so much. I try to find comfort in knowing he was doing what he loved in that big shiny truck! We will miss his big smile at the farm.

I was so sad to hear of Dick's passing. I have been Dick's neighbor for many years. He was always kind to me. He allowed me to interview him for a course I was taking once where he showed just what a caring person he was.

He was a good man and a good neighbor. My prayers go out for your entire family...

I am so saddened to hear of Dick's passing. I enjoyed working for him at Morrow PD. We had a great family relationship with all the officers. My heart goes out to Heath, all of Dick's family and to Nancy....I dont have the right words to express how this loss will affect the community and each one of us.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, even tho I cannot be.

The world is a smaller place today, with the loss of Dick. Growing up in Morrow, I remember Dick a fair and honorable man serving as Chief of Police for the Village of Morrow. Later, I had the pleasure of serving under him during his time as Salem Twp Trustee, and I as a firefighter. You can see the same values in Heath, as he serves in the same capacity that his father served so many years ago. On behalf of the Bean Family, our hearts, prayers and tears go out to the entire Kilburn Family.

With Love,
Joe Bean
