Ann, so sorry for your loss. In the short time since we've been neighbors it has been an honor to have known you both. As a couple you were truly a role model for longevity and commitment. Dick is at peace and with Christ now, and you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Ann, I am so sorry for your loss. I can remember seeing him come to watch you bowl. He was always such the gentleman and talking with him was always a pleasure. May he rest in peace.

Mrs.Huhn,Richard & Bob,
I am deeply sorry for your loss. I always liked Dick, he was always a gentleman. I would always enjoy him when he would visit Bahnsen's gas station when I worked there in high school. I would listen to Gerry & Dick's model airplane stories, and always appreciated how he was always trying to get more performace out of the 283 engine in the 65 Impala SS. I got to visit with him later on in life when he would take the Fleetmaster to the Cousino's car shows. You are all so fortunate to have had him for so long in your lives. Another one of the "Greatest Generation" has left us. God bless you all, and may you be at peace knowing that he is in a far better place now.
