To Myrna and family.....We were saddened to hear of Dick's passing. He was a great guy and loved all of you so much. We will miss our contact with him. He was so good at keeping me up with everything going on in your family. At least his suffering is over and all of you will have such lovely fun memories of everything you did with him. Keep these memories close, it helps to remember the fun times. We grieve because we loved....keep strong. Sending all our love.
