Dick, you were one of the nicest people I ever did meet. You were from a time when folks had values and morals and family was the most important thing, we could have. What a blessing it was to know you. I always had fun setting with you and Vina and just talking. RIP dear friend and I will see you again. Love Marilyn and family

Vance (Dick) and I are 1st cousins and I grew up with him from 1942 until he moved away from Lake View. He often stayed in our home and during this time he was like an older brother. I recall when he would return to SC and the reunions were great. I have not really been a part of his life the last few years, but I will never forget him. My sympathy and love are extended to his immediate family.
