We're praying that your family will be surrounded by God's comforting love and filled with the peace that only He can give. With Dick not with us any longer, there is a space in our physical lives that won't be filled. Spiritually, Dick will always be a part of our lives. Keep strong.

I so enjoyed coming to Glenview while going to ISU. I remember sitting at your kitchen table drinking coffee with you and Dick and watching him with your brilliant dog (can't remember her name!) His humor and sweet nature made our visits so wonderful!! Your family always made me feel so at home! I am so very sorry that you had to lose him so abruptly. You are all in my heart. Love, Liz and family

I look up to folks like Dick (aka Mr. Beran) for living a life filled with success, love, and beautiful experiences. He raised a great family, worked hard at a job he appeared to love and was very good at, and left behind many, many friends and family to honor his memory and all that his life meant. God bless all of you for your loss. In this difficult time try and remember why it's so hard to see him go. He was nothing but kind and fun loving to me in the 34 years I knew him. One of the greatest "friend's Dads" a kid could hope to grow up with

I know time is the only thing that can help heal. Thank you for the continued prayers and support. We loved our Dad so much. He was also a sweet, sweet grandfather that will never see his grandchildren graduate, get married, and have kids of their own. It makes us all so sad, but in our hearts we know he is no longer suffering and it would have been selfish on our part to force his body to stay. Good Bless.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you Mrs. Beran, Suzanne and Michael. Your dad was always so witty and kind to us as children. We are very sorry for your loss.
