My memories of Uncle Dick were nothing but good ones. He always knew how to crack a joke and say something so funny that would put a big smile on your face. He was such a comedian! Did I mention an awesome fisherman! Uncle Dick will be missed dearly. Thoughts and prayers go out to his wife Susie and family during this difficult time.

We were shocked and saddened by Dick's sudden passing. We were always happy in Dick's smiling presence. We will never forget his great sense of humor and his saunter down the aisle at his and Susie's wedding. Our deepest sympathy to Susie, her family and to Dick's family.
