I never had the privilege to meet Papa in person. But through Katie's heart felt love she had for him. Her funny and loving stories. I realized he was a great, caring, and loving man. Whom she loved very deeply. I am really sorry to hear of your family's loss. Katie, I am very sorry you have to go through this hurt and heart pain. But just remember Papa is always with you.

I just wanted to send my condolences to the whole family and say I am so sorry for your loss! Dick was a great man and I’m so lucky I was able to get to meet him and spend some time with him. He will be greatly missed. Whatever type of day you were having he’d be the one to make you laugh no matter what. He was so blessed to have such a wonderful family. You all are such wonderful people!
