Memories and Condolences
for Richard Double

I knew 'Dick' as my grandpa. He was, and forever will be my 'Poppi'. 12 years ago he passed away, and although I was only 6 at the time of his passing, from what I remember- he was truly my best friend. From swimming in Lake Denoon, to naps on the hammock, I remember always admiring my time with him. What I wish I would've known, was that my time with him was limited. Reading all of these beautiful entries from years ago is so refreshing; to see and learn more about my Poppi and his affect on other peoples lives. I will forever miss your smile, and laughter, and as a student at Marquette University- as he once was- I can say for certain, he is watching over me at all times. I love you and will continue missing you. Forever.

I was very sorry to learn of Dick's passing. I worked with Dick on numberous transactions when Dick represented St. Francis Bank. He was a man of honor, integrity and great skill. On a personal level, I enjoyed Dick's graciousness, humor and depth. He will be greatly missed. My condolences to his family.

Your entire family is in my thoughts and prayers. I am so blessed to have spent time with your Dad. He was such a great father and very giving man. I know you will miss his love of life...but you each carry it within you. You are an amazing family of women and now young men too. I know he is so proud of you all. Love.

I had the good fortune to know and work
with the Double family starting with Dad Bill who represented the Wisconsin Savings and Loan League in Madison and
handled legal work as well. Met Dick any number of times and always enjoyed
our conversations and his perspective on life. He was a good man. My condolences to the Double family.

After leaving American in the late sixties, came back in the late nineties, to renew a great friendship with Dick. As I was also ill, he visited me here in California several times...wished he would have visited me in Ireland, where I lived for 25+ years, but...he was a GOOD FRIEND.

I knew Dick Double from years of playing tennis. He was a man of dry wit with a constant gleam in his eye. His greeting to all he encountered was amplified and genuine. A true character, with true character. I will miss him.
April 18, 2013
Dick, you were a wonderful little boy and a lovely man...memories of Lake DeNoon, when your cottage was my parents and their wood stove was your TV....Yes, you are in heaven being blest as you so often blessed all of us...Peace to your family, Barbara Buckley Winkler

I met Dick at Oshkosh. His dorm room was next door to mine.
He was a fun fellow then, and when doing business with him many years later, was still that great, fun guy.
He definitely will be missed by all, but never forgotten.

Dickie, save us a seat and play a little three handed with Bobby and Al 'till Spider and I get there. You are a special friend and will always have a place in my heart...but geez, pick-up the pace, it's your play.
Love always,
