Dick meant so much to all of us in so many ways. His laughter would brighten up your day and his heart of gold truly showed with his sincere friendship. No words can describe how he touched so many lives. It's that feeling you just know that you're a better person for having him as your friend. Our prayers are with Lois and the entire family.

Lois, and family! I am so sorry to hear about Dick´ passing. Our hearts and prayers are with you and the family. We have so many special memories of Dick. One that was so-so special was when he came to the Fayetteville Airport to see me and the two kids off to Okinawa to be with Ski for 3 years. With Love Peggy
