Dear Barbara & Robin - It was a shock to hear of Dick's death and I wanted you to know how often and with what affection I have thought of him and you all over the years. You all are part of my growing up with C-21. Dick's humor was epic. So was his caring and love for you both. I cannot imagine the loss you are feeling. I have not seen Dick in several years, but there is a lonely space in my heart that he is no longer with us. I am sure he & my mom are having lots of laughs together! Love to you both, Beth Ann (Gawen) Hellert

Dear Barb, Bill and I just learned of Dick's illness and passing. We are so sorry for the loss you and Robin most certainly feel. We think of you and Dick often and the many laughs and the amazing fun we had at the Outer Banks. I especially remember our hysterical game nights and the times when he would laugh so hard he could hardly speak and tears rolled down his face. Also, the late night fires on the deck that he and Bob would try to ignite. If both Bill and I remember correctly, Dick was finally successful.
Again, we are deeply saddened by your loss and pray for your comfort and the healing of your hearts.
Love from both of us,
Bill and Ann Whalen

Barbara and Robin, I was so sorry to hear about Dick. I will always have memories of of the many years as our being neighbors. The one that pops in my mind was the night that our cat brought a live rat into the house while the boys and I were eating if dinner. Dick was our savior. He chased it out of the house with a fishing pole and then disposed of it so it would not come back. He was always such a good neighbor. I am so sorry that I will not be able to come to the memorial service. Sending a hug to you and Robin. Kathy Meade Goulait.
