Aunt Phylis and Bob and family. My prayers are with you today on this special day. You know Uncle Dick was special to all of us and he loved life. His sense of humor and love of his family will be what I remember most about him.
I was so happy with the time I did get to spend with him within the last couple of years. When I hugged him and told him I loved him the last time I saw him, he said he loved me too and that was so special to me.
Rest in Peace Uncle Dick, we all will miss you.
