Dear Phyllis, Michael, Michelle, Jennifer & Family

Our hearts are saddened for all of you. We are friends but more like family. Dick and Ernie joined the Marines together and have remained friends. Much time spent raising our kids, skiing, and listening to animated stories about his father, Leo, funny! My favorite memory was visiting you both in Arizona. Cruising down the Colorado River to see London Bridge. Going to Oatman Az. And meeting Dick`s friend the funny roadrunner that he named Fred, He will be missed. .
He will be missed. We love you Phyllis and family.
