Thank you for being such a wonderful neighbor and friend to our family. All of us on Pilots Way will miss you. God bless you and Mary.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I remember “Uncle” Dick as a great person who I admired when I was a child.
As both of my parents have passed, I know they are all having a great “reunion”.
