Linda and family
I am so sorry to hear about Dick. My hubby Chuck (who I lost 3 years ago) and I have been friends with you two for many years. Dick was one of Chuck's best buddies, they worked together for many years. I remember going to many company picnics together when our kids were younger. I remember Chuck and Dick getting into mischievous trouble during the company strikes (remember that Linda, we were so upset with them).
We were blessed to get to celebrate each of our 50th wedding anniversaries together. We have lots of wonderful memories to keep in our hearts.
Sending you my love and prayers.

RIP Dick
Now Chuck will have a best bud helping him pull mischievous pranks in heaven.
