Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever. We remember the great times at the lake with Lyle, Jack and Dick . . . hard to accept that they are all in a better place. Life passed by too quickly.

So many memories come flooding back of 40 years of friendship - Dick was a wise counselor in times of trouble, a man who embraced life with humor and gusto. He was so very kind to my aging father. Sweet times at the lake house and the farm, bridge games, sailing in Marblehead... I am grateful to have known him. Beverly, God is with you and you are surrounded by friends.

Dear Beverly, Richard was a wonderful man and we will always remember his smile, his wit, intellect and his convictions!
As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
