Dearest Sue and beloved family. It is with a dark and heavy heart that is filled with condolences to all of you. Dick (aka "Mr. Dick") was a stoic man that I will always remember for his never-ending kindness, faith, loyalty, and compassion. He put up a brave and courageous fight for the last few years, never backing down and remaining positive. I know this is a difficult time for all of you and please know that all of your friends would gladly carry your load of sadness and grief.
