When I was a little girl, Uncle Dick would always tell me his fishing stories. As I grew up, we talked alot about the banking industry. He was a person who truly listened to you & appreciated the moment you had with him. He was a Dear Uncle & I will always have a place in my heart for him.

Dear Dorothy and Family.
Please accept my heartfelt sympathies on the loss of your beloved husband and father. I have not seen Dick in over 10 years but my memories of him was surely a gentleman. May he now rest in God's loving peace. Sincerely,

My sympathies are with each of you in your loss. I know you were so important to each other. As I read about Dick I understand he leaves quite a legacy. I did not know about his musical side. God's peace be with you all.
