We bought our 1st home @ 99 Thomas Blvd back in 81. Dick & Donna lived @ 97 Thomas Blvd and we enjoyed having them as our neighbors while they lived there and subsequently moved to their house on Jefferson St. I will always remember them both and cherish having known them. RIP Dick , you´re reunited with your bride forever in Heaven forever with our Lord.
