Richard Abel

I knew Dick from the Kitchen resturant on 18th street. He was a very funny guy, he always made me laugh, and never seemed to be too busy to talk with me.
My blessings go out to all his family and the many,many friends that he had.

Sorry to hear about the passing of a dear family friend to the McCowen's. Our prayers are with you and your family.

So sorry to hear about the passing of Dick. He was a dear friend of my dad's (Forest McCowen). I saw Dick a couple of years ago when I came to the falls to visit. It was a joy to see him and talk about the old times. My thoughts and prayers are with each and every one of you.
May God Bless

Just thinking about you makes me happy. "How ya doin cuz" will no longer be heard. Out of sight, out of mind-not a chance. How lucky I was to have a cousin to lean on, laugh with, and call my friend.

Dick filled the room tosay the least I have nothing but the best memories of my uncle. My prayer are with his All of his family

What a blessing to have such a treasure in our family. I will never forget the great times we had together at Long Beach and family gatherings. Uncle Dick was a great man with a wonderful sense of humor. He was loved by everyone and will be missed. My sympathy's to his children, and also to my mom and Aurelanne, who cherrished him.

marilyn and greg sorry for your loss if i can do anything call me

I have known Dick since North Junior High School, over 70 years ago. I have not seen him in several years, but if you knew Dick you didn't forget him. He was a good man and a good friend. There is more laughter in heaven today because Dick has arrived.

Niagara Falls has a little less personality today. Dick was my uncle and to say being around him was a lot of fun is an understatement. everyone who knew him knows what I mean. He will be missed. Sheree,myself and kids have will be thinking and praying for the family..."The Mayor of 18th St has left the building...."

Sue and Family, Sorry to hear about Richard, He was a great guy that always made people laugh and have a great time. Our prayers are with you

Dick was a great friend to my father and mother, Lloyd and Marguerite Paterson. My deepest sympathy to his family at this very sad time.

He was a great cousin and really good to me as a kid. We had so many good times at his parents home and left me with a lot of happy memories.
