Keith, I am so sorry to hear of your dad’s passing. You came to mind the other day, and I found out by googling you. I know he was a great role model for you, and I’m sure he was extremely proud of you. 10-11-2024

Rich and Family,
Alesia and I are so sorry for you and your Family’s Loss. You are all in our thoughts and Prayers.
We always called you Uncle Dickie, even though you were our cousin. You and Aunt Helene would always take Beth and I camping. You did the same thing with Our children and grandchildren! We all spoke of you as Uncle Dickie! We loved you so much! Say hello to the rest of our relatives in heaven! We’ll be raising a mug to you with the boys this summer!
Uncle Dicky,
I’ll never forget our times together, especially up at camp. You are sorely missed ❤️
Dick,
You will always be in my thoughts. RIP
