We have just heard the news of Dick's passing and are all deeply saddened. Dick was such a wonderful person and employee of Manpower. We all share fond memories of Dick over the years. He would always stop in the office and chat with us and we so enjoyed his company. Dick was one of the most dependable easy going, hard working employees that became a friend to all of us. We could always count on him to do the best job possible. We are very fortunate that he worked for us for so many years. He will be truly missed by all of us. Our thoughts are with the family at this difficult time.

Our deepest sympathies go out to the whole McPeek family, in the loss of your loved one, Dick. I worked with Dick at PEPL in early '80's, he was a quiet & kind man, liked by all who knew him. It is never easy to lose a loved one, no matter how or their age. May the Lord give comfort to you all at this difficult time.
