I would have to ask my parents to be sure, but I have probably known Dick since the day I was born. When I went to work for the railroad, I used to tell everyone that he was my Uncle Dick. Even though there was no blood relationship. He was one of my Dad's oldest and best friends. I will miss seeing him when I am in Laurel.

To my Grandpa Dick,
You have no idea what it was like to have you as part of my life. You were not my real Grandpa, but I don't think you could have been any closer. You were a quiet man, but when you did say something, it was always funny. Me, Shaw and the kids will always remember your warm heart. I want to thank you for keeping grandma company all those years, now you can be together for eternity. God Bless you Grandpa Dick, you will be truely missed!!!
All of our love, Jill, Shaw, Alex, Zachry, Jakob and Jerzy!!!
