To the Doud family,
Dick will be missed by many, he was a joy to be around and I had many conversations with him. He truly one of a kind. If I did not get to go fishing, he made sure that I had fish.
But just know that we are here for you and your family in your time of need. Keep the faith, memories, and the person he was, these things are what will keep you going and make it through these trying times.

It will be the little things
that you will remember,
the quiet moments,
the smiles, the laughter.
And although it may seem
hard right now,
it will be the memories
of these little things
that help to push
away the pain
and bring the smiles
back again.
Thoughts and prayers for you all.
Jeff, Trixie and the boys
