Rest in peace Dick, you were a good guy and a friend Gordon Paul
My sincere condolences, Dan and Pam. I hope your dad finds the perfect rabbit hunting and fishing hole. I’m sure he will find my dad there.
He was a great dancer!
I first met Dick at the age of 18 when I became good friends with his daughter Pam. Life has a way of putting us on different paths but I never forgot the love I witnessed between a dad and his daughter Pam. For many years I would see him around town walking, , he walked miles and miles! Life brought us back together a few years back and I had the pleasure of spending time with Richard for his last few years on this earth. I think his favorite part of me being around was my dogs. Richard would hold my dogs and not want to let them go, he loved little dogs. I loved to make him smile and laugh when we were together.. He was great at taking selfies with me. Richard would dance with me and always want to lead, he was a joy in my heart that I will miss dearly. RIP Pepere.❤️
He was a little man with a big heart.
Words aren’t enough for such a loss. Dick was pure joy to be around and I know he will be missed dearly. My deepest sympathy to all who mourn his passing.
He would hold my dog Opi hostage on his lap by her harness so she couldn’t leave him. He loved Opi.
