Heaven gained a precious son this week! So happy for Dick to be in the presence of our Lord and reunited with those he loved, but he will be sorely missed here. So grateful he graced our lives. He was an amazing man. Much love to his family!!!

I loved seeing Dick at pinochle every week. He was such a gracious player, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t a great and fierce player. He knew the game and knew hoe to win, but if he didn’t, there were never any hard feelings. I never heard him say a bad thing about anyone – to me, that makes him a “gentleman”.
