Sorry to hear about Dick's passing. Meet him a Charlies Filling Station years ago and always had fun talking to him. I thought he resembled Bob Newhart. Also he always had good mushrooms during the season. God Bless Dick and your family. Rest in Peace my friend.

I was startled and saddened to see Dick's obituary in the Friday newspaper. My sons, Perry and Lon, grew up next door to him as well as sisters Susan and Sandy on Birch Lane, and he was several months younger than Lon. I wouldn't have expected to see an obituary for Dick during my lifetime, and I'm sorry for whatever caused what seems to me to be a premature death.--Sherry Hutchison

Sandi: I am not sure you will remember me, but I was one of the "Bob's" that played softball with Dick ( along with Kevin McKay, Rich Holbrook, etc.) I always appreciated Dick's sense of humor and enjoyed the time I got to spend with him. I just found out about his passing and would have loved to attend the service, but word got to me too late. My thoughts and prayers are with you and you family. If there is anything I can do, please don't hesitate to respond. Regards.....

I was so sad to see that Richard had passed. I knew him from being a southsider and going to Lincoln. I use to see him at our kid's school events in more recent years. My regards to the family, Dorothy Tucci Parker, class of '70

We are so sorry for your loss and we are sending prayers and hugs your way. We will never forget when Dick and Sandy took in Danny like a son back in high school. We love your whole family like you are our own family. It's hard to say good-bye so early, but I hope you are somewhat comforted by the many warm memories you had together. We will never forget Dick's laugh and sense of humor.

Sandy,
KJ and I are both very saddened by Dick's passing. He was one of the nicest and "funniest" persons we have ever been associated with. He truly will be missed by all who had the opportunity to spend time with him as he had an infectious personality and a zest for life.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
