I will truly miss Dick. He became my barber when I moved here from Seattle. I am fortunate to say he was a friend. I will think of him at every car show I attend. Prayers to the family.

I enjoyed talking with my friend Dick from time to time when our paths together would cross. He was always smiling and his friendship was appreciated from me more than other people would know. He made me laugh and I truly enjoyed his company every time I saw him. Just glad to have met him and pray for his soul. God Bless you my friend! Polish Power!!!

Love leaves a memory no one can steal"

You were the best step-dad, I could have ever dreamed of. You will be dearly missed and thought of all the time! Now I'll be going to Arby's ordering a roast beef, just for you...oh and a real coke. Love you and say hi to everyone up there!
