Moran family, sorry to hear about Dick. We always refered to him as Dick Dog as he loved to bet on the dogs. Him and my mom were good freinds. I am sure that they are playing bingo together now.

Shy & Lori, so sorry to hear about your dad's death. I just found out about it, or I would have attended the memorial. I'll be thinking about you.

I am so sorry to hear of Dick's passing. I would have attended the memorial at the VFW if I had known.
I know you all will miss him, but I'm sure you have lots of fond memories and loved ones that will help you through your grieving. I hadn't seen Dick in quite a few years. I believe the last time was in Bouton for Saurekraut Days and he and Dick Gilliam had a booth selling some stuff.
May your faith in God give you peace.

I am so sorry to hear of Dick's passing. I had only met him a couple of times but he was a dear friend to my cousin Richard York and the York family. I know that he will be missed by many who knew him.
