Charlene,
So sorry to hear of your loss. We must always remember the good times. He will be sorely missed by everyone that knew him. Dickie was a very dear friend for many years. I first met Dick in the early 70's. He had many friends, both at Patty Jewett and at Safeway.
Sincere condolences to you and all of your family.
Your friend,
