My Uncle Dick will always hold a special place in my heart. How many kids could say there Uncle was Santa? He and Aunt Marcia were always treasures in my childhood memories of Colorado visits with Grandma and Grandpa Shuck. Glad to know he is reunited with my precious Aunt Marcia now and forever more. Love to all my family.

I didn't really know Mr. Shuck, but I know his son Trenton. The acorn doesn't fall far from the tree and knowing what a good, kind, compassionate man Trenton is I can only imagine the wonderful traits he had. My heart goes out to all of the family. He lives on in memory now, but as long as those memories live, so does he.
