Dick and Jane Smith were a fantastic couple and great to be with. Dick was one of the greatest story tellers and both of them really had a zest for living. Jane was one of our daughter's god parents, while Dick encouraged me long ago to marry my lovely wife of 25 years, he will be remembered.

I worked with, and for Dick for many years. He was a gentlemn and a professional in every way.
