Dearest Rich, Rudie, Sharon, Bob, Jill and families, Dave and I cannot begin to express how heartfelt our sadness is for all of you. We loved Dick as family ourselves...I've known him for over 40 years, and I know he and Dave have enjoyed shareing many fishing stories over the years. Please accept our most sincerest condolences in your time of grief and I hope you can feel a little comfort in knowing that he is reunited with Sandy, the love of his life, his Mom and Dad, Butch and all his other loved ones who have gone before him. XOXO
