Uncle Dick,
You will never be forgotten, when l think of visiting as a child it warms my heart. The smell of the T.V. shop, getting a bottle of coke out of the coke machine, playing bumper pool with Becky and of course you're spaghetti & meatballs. You were a wonderful man,father,husband & uncle. You will be greatly missed ! Love & prayers to the family.

Uncle Dick,
You were so much more than an uncle, you were my second Dad. You taught me fine dining and good wine make the world so much more tolerable. You and Aunt Reba always opened up your house to me when I wanted to come visit, which was every time I had a school break!
My Heart breaks that you are gone, but at the same time I am so glad that you and Aunt Reba are together again and the pain of this world is no longer with either of you. You both made this world a better place and I feel so Blessed to have had you as part of my family.
You will always be apart of me. May you rest in peace. Love you bunches.
