Steve, John, DeDee, and Janice, I was saddened to hear of your dad's passing. I have fun memories of playing at your house, sliding down the stairs and playing cards. I remember your dad as always being kindhearted with plenty of laughter at hand. It is these type of memories that helps us through the sad times.

Happy memories are the best memories. That's the only memories that I have from Uncle Dick. I remember being a young kid. Whenever we heard that he was coming for a visit, there was no calming us down. Of course, Uncle Dick would come over to visit Mom (his sister Caroline), but us kids always managed to monopolize a big chunk of his time. I remember the stories he would tell would be sooooo animated and we would laugh and laugh! One day I tried to trick him and gave him one of my children's cookbooks instead of a storybook (I was only 6 yrs old at the time). He made up stories from the pictures. Again, we laughed and laughed. Uncle Dick always had kind words no matter what was sent his way. I have always admired that about him.
Several years later, Uncle Dick has always been willing to help when asked. I really appreciate the fact that he has been able to help my Mother while she was going through some health issues.
I value a lot in knowing Uncle Dick as he has shown a love for creativity and very good use of optimism.
I cannot express my feelings very well, but I just wanted to share just a little of my memories.
Uncle Dick, I love you dearly and will think of you often. And, I'm glad that you are with Grandma. I do smile when I think of the two of you together.
Warm hugs to all of you reading this.
God Bless!
