Dick was best man many years ago at my wedding to Philip Hamel, now deceased, and through the years our children have seen photos and laughed at stories about how Dick and Phil grew up next door to each other on Campfield Avenue. Our love to Nan and family

Dear Pat, There are so few words that I can use to assuage your grief. I'll have to depend on prayer that God will comfort you in your loss of Dick. What I heard of him through Pat and Bob makes me wish that I could have been a part of your lives, too. Love and hugs, CEL

Pat and family - I wish I could be there. I loved Dick as a brother. Never forget our vacations on Ky. Lake. He and Bob were so good for each other. Dick's humor and love was one of a kind and so needed by Bob. And Bob was the big brother Dick never had and vice versa. What a pair!!! They did so much good at Hilltop and got paid back a hundred fold. God bless his family.

I knew Dick because he was my Dad's best friend. It was easy to love him from the minute I met him. He was such a fun & kind man. You'll be missed dearly, Dick. My love to Pat & family.

DIck was more then a friend, he was a brother, friend and mentor. He will live forever in our hearts and I'll never forget the many times we had breakfast on saturday mornings (even when he would have rather stay home) and talked for hours about life, love and relationships. One of the most important things he taught me was to be non judgemental and loving. Thanks Dick, I won't forget

I will always remember Dick as he was one of the kindest and most gentle people I knew. He was always ready to give me a hug and a laugh when I saw him. He was a brave man during his fight with cancer and an inspiration to all who knew him. I loved him and will miss him dearly. My thought and prayers are with Pat and his family.

With love, Joanne
