Dick & Jim has alot of fun snowmobiling. I was a long on a view of the rides. He ended up in the creek trying to show me how to keep from going in the creek when I was stuck. Yabadabadu Dick!!!

Snowing and blowing so hard that visibility was down to to feet.. I told Dick I thought I crossed a groomed trail. “We don’t need no stinking trails”… Happy trails to a guy that knew every area without a stinking map.. Thank you for the forever memories and a few pictures.. RIP

Dick and I were good friends as kids on Spencer Street. Many days playing “cars “on a burm on the street and in a “Bugs Bunny” hole in the vacant lot across the street from his house.
The best times were in the 4th. and 5th. grades when we moved cattle from Nelson above York across the old York bridge, across the Helena valley to “High Town” an old cow camp over the Divide, on Dog creek. It was a 4 day trip on horseback. The best part of that was getting out of school for 2 days. Neither of us were good students, in fact quite the opposite. I lost track of Dick in high school and only got together later years in some of the same watering holes. Dick was always well dressed and a self- proclaimed “Lady’s man”.
A man that I will miss from my childhood. So long old friend.

Wow, what a Ride Dick would say. So now he has joined “The Riders In The Sky” Red, Willie, TJ., & the Boys. Exciting & Memorable times they had for many years. There will never be any others like each individual of Helena’s Last Chance Gulch coffee drinkers at Gerties Drive In awesome bunch. Farewell now to The Riders In The Sky” from longtime Friend Evy Burris Sass
