Very sorry to hear of Dick's passing. I worked with him at United Parcel Service. When I first started there he made me feel welcome and gave me some pointers on doing the job. He was one of the people who made my day that much brighter when he came into the building. Always a smile on his face and a kind word. He will be missed.

Jason,
I am so sad to hear the news of your fathers passing. I never met your Dad, but I remember the stories you've told me and know how wonderful and supportive he was to you. I can only start to imagine what you are feeling now. I am thinking and praying for you and your family. Please know I am here.

So sorry to hear of Dick's passing. I worked with him for most of his 31 years at UPS. He was a kind hearted, hard working gentleman. I took his route briefly after he retired and his customers loved him.
