Dick was such a good man and I witnessed that yesterday at his celebration of life with the place packed full of family, friends. Dick was friends with my father since the late 1970´s who owned Lundwick and Brown Hardwood floors and I got to know him over all the years I have been there 30 years then now me owning the company. He would always call and when I answered he would say how´s it going kiddo. He was kind, smart and always made me laugh. He was always concerned for my father after he had a stroke. He would always ask how my dad was doing and always say tell your dad hi and I love him and let´s go get a cup of coffee. It really broke my heart when I heard his passing. I have saved some voicemails from him and will treasure them. We send our heartfelt condolences to Dicks family. We will miss him dearly, Jenifer & Jeff Shockley & Ron Landreth

We first met Dick when he came to our home late last year to discuss some remodeling projects. He and his crew had been highly recommended by friends and rightly so. We loved him from the moment we met him. He was EXACTLY on time, and had such a warm steady demeanor - always listening to us while also guiding. Our projects were recently completed and are beautiful. We truly thought of Dick as a friend and are so incredibly saddened by his passing. He was an amazing human being and will be greatly missed.

Our hearts go out to his family and crew - which we know were also his family - Rest in Peace Dick.
