I thought this went up a few days ago. Dick was my half brother, but how can you have half a brother? While we were 18 years and a generation apart as he was married when I first remember him he did have a special spot in my life. He worked hard and raised a good family. I wish now I had made a effort to be closer as we grew apart. I remember a strong handsome man always working. I will miss him
