I'm very grateful to have gotten to know Dick and I will miss our conversations and his wonderful sense of humor. He expressed such gratitude for everything and everyone in his life and shared such a caring spirit in all ways. Thank you Cindy for sharing your dad with me. He spoke with such pride and love for you and I'm sure will continue to watch over his precious daughter.
