Phoebie, Elmer & I want to express our deepest sympathy to you & your family. We have such fond memories of the Chromalox Christmas parties with John Meek & the 'crew'. Elmer always spoke very highly of Dick. Such a great guy. God Bless & I'll still be sending you a Christmas card.

All of my memories of Mr. Brent are good ones. He was such a kind and gentle soul. I spent a lot of time at the Brent home as a girl and I never heard him raise his voice, let alone yell. To me he will always be the Mr. Brent of my childhood; a very happy memory to have.

Phoebie and Family, You have my deepest sympathy on the loss of Dick. I remember him as such a gentle and kind man; especially when he would bring us goodies for our parties at work or pick us up and ride us places in the middle of the day. God Bless his soul and comfort to the family.
