To Dunlay Family: We are so saddened to hear of your loss. I, personally, will always remember Dick as one of the famous "moles" and my brother Jerry's close friend. I'm sure he's out of pain and in Heaven now and he and Jerry are together looking over all of us.
Dick had an infectious laugh and was a very compassionate person. I'm sure he will be missed greatly by all who knew him.
