Dear Lochner family,
My heart goes out to all of you during your time of the passing of a really great man. Dick was our mailman for many years during my childhood the whole family looked forward to seeing him coming down the street, not only because he was bringing our mail, but he was a our friend too! He always treated us like we were his family too, knowing all our names and talking to us all. Seeing Dick when we were out and about somewhere was like a family reunion he had hugs for all of us and was one of my fathers close friends! He will be missed by all the Drew's.
