We have wonderful memories of our families enjoying picnics, cutting Chrismas trees, post holiday meals and most of all remember the Silver Fox coming up the driveway in New Brighton. We mourn the loss of a friend.

Dearest Smith Family,



I knew Dick mostly through my former wife, Paula Ripple Comin who I know loved him very much. I enjoyed the little time I had with him.

To the family and step family; Gloria and I wish all the love and strength we can send. May Dick rest in peace.



Many Warm Hugs From Florida,

Don & Gloria Comin

Dick - your struggles are finally over. May you rest in peace. I will remember your goofy sense of humor and your generosity. We ALWAYS had the best of the best when we came over for dinner or you took us out somewhere.



As my step father you were more of a father to me than my own dad was.

I'll miss you but am happy you are at peace.



Love, Mary
