Dick lived next door to my grandmother for many years and was always kind and helpful to her. He cut her grass, shoveled her snow and brought her fresh trout that he had caught that day. I will always be grateful for his kind spirit. May he rest in peace.

Richard was my best friend since we could talk. Got into all kinds of trouble together, went on many fishing and hunting trips together in the earlier years. He is a man that is truly going to be loved and missed for many years to come. I know I will never forget the years we had together as our back yards bordered each other. I love you cousin. God Bless You and hopefully we will get together again in Heaven.
You were always there for me when I needed you and raised a nice family. Rest in peace cousin, I love you. Art
