So many memories with Dick, alot that still hit me at odd times and make me laugh. I will forever be greatful that he gave me two beautiful children Krystle and Alex, that as adults they got the chance to get to know him and that he got the opportunity to spend time with his grandkids.

Dick was kind and friendly to me. He enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. I knew him years ago when we were both younger. He seemed intrigued by his nephews and niece born to Dana and I. Recall the time our youngest was eating crayons; he and uncle Dean so concerned that I wasn't worried about it. I told them I would find the crayons later on in the diaper. They were naive about such things. Strange the silly stuff one remembers. Back then those two were inseparable. I pray for each "D" in this family and thank our Lord for letting me be a part of it! Hugs to everyone! Love you all, from Beth
