To the Kernick family, please accept our sincere condolences to a long time friend of our family. Dick took care of our needs for years, and was always there when we needed his service. Unfortunately, as his services were being held on one side of the street, the loss of my wife was on the other side of the street. Take care good friend, Homer Thompson

I knew Dick and the gang over at Kernick's Tire & Auto, next to where I worked for 20 years. He took care of me when I had a problem with my cars and his crew too. R.I.P. Mr Dick, you were a good man.. We love you!!

Dear Jim, Rob and the entire Kernick Family,
I was saddened to learn that Dick had passed away. May the memories of happier times serve to comfort and sustain you during this most difficult period of mourning. You barely had a chance to recover from the passing of your mother. May God give you the strength required to endure this latest loss.

Rob and James and entire Kernick family,
So sorry to hear of the passing of Dick. I've only known him for a few years from getting my car serviced. I enjoyed his sense of humor and honest integrity.
I will miss seeing him. You can take some comfort in knowing that he is in the loving arms of your Mother now and will be looking over his family from their place in heaven.
