My condolences to the Burpee family. I remember Dick as a customer of Insty-Prints when I worked there 1988-1992. He was always congenial and thoughtful, and an insightful businessman. We were also in the Concord Business Group together during that same time. There is no doubt in my mind he will be missed by the many people in the community whose lives he touched.

Bless you Dick, I really admire how you planned for the well being of your family as time grew short. It was always a pleasure to visit with you or sometimes just a wave when I was working at your home. For a man who could speak so little you certainly made me smile and laugh a lot. Thank you.
