Brenda,

I am a co-work of your son Richard, you and your husband raised a good man who brings a smile to anyone's face with his cheerful hello. May God give you and your family peace in this time of sorrow. God knows what it is like to have someone you love taken from your presence, even if it is only for a short time. God bless you and your family. May he provide you and your family with the comfort that only he can give for complete peace.

Mike and I will always remember Dick at the drag races. Mike always tells of the time Dick told a guy his garage wall looked better than the paint on the guy's racecar. Mike said he'd seen the garage and it was true! Please accept our condolences.

Brenda and family, I am sorry to hear about Dick's passing. I have many fond memories of our families doing things together while I was growing up. But I think I will always remember Dick laughing by a gigantic Christmas tree that had come to life with the way your family decorated it. Sincerely, Rusti Conley

Brenda, it's been so long since Dick took beautiful photos for our Brownie troop in Daleville and you talked "Union" at my kitchen table. Sandy and Tony were little. Then we met you and Dick again in Elwood a few years ago and had such fun catching up, finding we had so much more in common than we ever knew.

It was such a shock hearing of Dick's passing! Honey, I'm so sorry. I know these are only words, but they are truly heartfelt. You and your family are loved by so many, even by those of us who didn't get to see you often. We remember and cherish the good times and laughter and share in your family's sorrow. Rai
