    My deepest sympathy to the family at this very difficult time. May you find comfort in God’s word the Bible at Revelation 21:3,4.

    Dave and I were neighbors of Dick's when we lived in the Village. Always ready to get together with us and of course Mary Beth to have dinner together. Our cal -de sac was always caring for each other, if it was over the flowers in the yard or over a beverage. He will be well remembered.
