I will and always admired how genuinely appreciative he was for my grandmothers cooking and he always said how beautiful of a meal she made and it was so delicious, when we got together on thanksgiving and Christmas and other holidays. He never failed to make you feel important during a conversation and he was the most gentle, caring guy that anyone would have had the pleasure to get to know. He will be missed at the table for sure🙏🏼
Dick was a very simple man. He had a huge heart and would give you the shirt off his back! He will be truly missed by all who knew him, rest easy dear Dick.
Love Barbara 🙏
We love you Dickie Ralph and Barbara ❤️ !
Rest easy uncle Dick. 🕊️🙏🏼
It’s time to be reunited. I’m sure Memere was very happy to have her #1. ♥️ Rest easy it’s your turn to sit back and enjoy the ride.
Michael, Diane and Linda I am so sorry for your loss. ♥️ He was a very genuine man.
Uncle Dick was always interested in what you had to say. He would ask questions to get a better understanding of what was said. He genuinely cared and wanted to know your thoughts on whatever topic was being discussed. That is a quality I will always admire about him.
