Cheryl, Elizabeth, Casandra and family,
Please accept our deepest sympathy for your loss. He was a one of a kind for sure. Uncle Dick was an Uncle growing up that always made sure there was something to do and you always had fun. He was the life of partys and gatherings and it was never boring when he was around. I have so many fond memories of him from a little girl into adulthood. He will be greatly missed
