Dear Peggy and family:
I have so many fond memories of Dick from so long ago. Loved listening to him sing and play guitar out at Nancy’s in the day. He always seemed to enjoy life. I am so sorry to hear about his passing, but you can bet that Jack and Sandy were waiting with open arms for him. Prayers to you and your family from mine.
Terri Weideman and Marissa Wells.
We are so very sorry for your loss.
