My Daddy was the kindest, fairest, hardest working, most honest man I know. He tried to teach me those things when I was a teenager….and I thought he was wrong…but, as I grew up I realized every thing he ever told me was right….and, I am a better parent to my own children because I had such a terrific example of a parent to follow. I will miss you so much, Daddy.
Dear Diane, I know how difficult these last few weeks have been for you and how much you cared for Dick. My condolences go out to you and the family.
I worked with Dick for 20 years at National Airlines. I remember Dick as being extraordinarily fair, honest,trustworthy and always better than a fair weather friend. ALthough we did not see each other since 1984, Dick was often in my thoughts and knowing he is no longer here is sad.
