To Donna ; John ;Jim ;and Jennifer; My deepest Heart felt condolences: Dick was my dearest friend ;I knew Dick for over 30 years through working at Evinrude and then as we shared the love and passion for pigeons; as our friendship grew I realized what a gentle giant and man of great character Dick was ! They say if you want to see how great a person is ; You just have to look at their children . While I only got the pleasure to know John well ; It is clear to see the great character both Donna and Dick instilled in their children ! I will miss forever some of the heartfelt conversations we shared that sometimes led to tears . Always there to help with any issues about our birds ; dogs or just shoot the breeze . I really would think of Dick more like the Big Brother I didn't have . His Love for God , Family , Country and of course the birds made Dick the Man I grew to love and respect. Dick will always be missed ; but never forgotten " A part of Dick will live on in all of Us that were Blessed to know Him . We will meet again my Dear Friend in God's House .
