Dear Barb, Matt, Steve and the rest of the family,
Peace and prayers to you in your loss. I remember his smiling face when I would see him at Holly's and other places...he would always take time to say hello...know I am thinking of you at this time.
I met Dick and his sons when I started going to Cribbage Club with my Dad at the Lakeside Eagles on Monday nights. I loved playing against Dick because he always made it a challenge to beat him because he was so good. (His sons, Matt & Steve, are just like him--the three of them made Monday nights so interesting). I haven't gone for a long time, but I remember games of cribbage with them just like it was yesterday. Dick had an amazing sense of humor and always was smiling. You could tell he was a good person by the way he was with his sons and also with all of us at cribbage. On the off chance that he would lose, he never seemed upset or anything. I know he's up there and he's probably already got a 29 hand. Smile, smile, wink, wink!! Kathie Haines Olsen, 3730 Henry Street, Muskegon, MI 49441.
Truely one of the kindest, funny and most gentle people I have ever met, my prayers of love, support and strength are with you all through this transition. Dick will be misssed greatly. Love you guys!!
Danelle, John, Maddie-Maddie & Garet
