Marsha, sorry for your loss. Dick was one of my favorite people. I am so sorry that we have lost touch, but know how much I love you and Dick. The last time I saw you was at my Mom’s funeral, and I still remember with all the sadness, Dick still made everyone smile.

I will always remember Uncle Dick as the “Story Man “. Lots of humor and could tell stories for hours, leaving you laughing endlessly! I learned so much about our family in the conversations, however seldom unfortunately, that I had not known. I regret not being in touch more often but I know that he knew in his heart that I loved him very much! My love to you Uncle Dick ❤ Amy

Uncle Dick was such great fun. Did not see him often due to geography, but always enjoyed his sense of humor and great smile. May he rest in peace.
