Uncle Dick made a positive impact on everyone who was blassed to know him. His legacy will live on through so many, but none will ever compare to him.
So blessed to have been your neighbor and to feel like a part of your wonderful family., Dick.
My condolences and love to June, Greg, Ina Jo, Gary, Jane and the entire family.
Josh and family,
So sorry to hear of the passing of your grandpa. I never knew him but from reading his obituary he sounds like quite a guy and I know his passing will leave a big hole in your family. Spend time telling stories and laughing with your family and his friends. You will slowly heal and your grandpa will always be a big part of who you are.
Thinking of you.
