Daddy I'm so sorry I wasn't there when you passed to talk to you and hold your hand. I remember all the crazy snowmen that we built together. I remember pitching my very first pup tent at Higgins Lake. I remember sitting on your lap well you and all your buddies from work we're playing poker. I have so many happy memories of the time I got to spend with you. Forever in my heart. I love you Daddy!
We the 1957 classmates of Dick, will remember his basketball abilities at Mason High School and his special friendship to all. Our thoughts and wishes for his family are sincerely sent. He will be greatly missed at our gatherings.

Blessings to Dick's family.
Dick and I had many happy years working together at Oldsmobile.

We are so sorry for your loss. We live across the lake from you (Lake Laura). Shirley, my husband, Ron, gave you the picture of your house that he had taken from our side of the lake. I know we didn't know either of you, but we will miss seeing him mowing the grass. May all your memories comfort you. Prayers for you all. Judy & Ron Winter
Dick was so fun and hospitable to me while Cindy , Nancy and I were growing up ( and even after we were grown up!). From snipe hunting at Bear Lake, to Dingman bar nights and parties in New Berlin , Dick was always there in the center of it. He will be missed dearly.

First met Dick in 1973 when we both worked at Oldsmobile. Shared lots of MSU tailgates, golf events, and other parties. He was always the Social Director and Tour Guide for our group. Will miss his smile.
I remember sharing a tailgate party at a Lions game with Dick that my son hosted. He had the best time with a cigar and a drink, commented on how much fun he had. We will always remember sharing friendship with Dick. Will truly miss him. Jim Heinrich and Judy Genotti
