Condolence: it's so hard to believe that Uncle Dick has left this world. Though saddened by the loss I have come to realize all the little things have now become very comforting memories.. I can remember delivering Ice with my uncle during the county fair. Not sure why, maybe Uncle Sam the ice man was ill or Dick was just helping out. At any rate I thought I was big stuff and after watching him throw ice blocks around like ice cubes, I thought I could do the same. Not so. Uncle Dick always had a smile but as I think back I'm sure he was laughing. watching Grandpa and Uncle Dick at harvest is another memory. The old 2 row corn picker mounted on a tractor. Grandpa would haul loads from the field and unload the ear corn. Piled outside in wooden picket fence circles that went up with the pile. They would alternate jobs when another row of fence had to be put up. Hard working, family man always had a smile ,I have heard him described . So true. Family always first I cherish the time we spent together. The talks and visits I had with Dick and Audrey during mom and dads illness and their passing, was such a help. I only hope he knew how much it meant to me.. I'm sad I will not be able to attend services Monday but take some comfort knowing I will be closer to him at 35,000 feet on our flight home. RIP Uncle Dick..

Condolence: Everything was large about my Uncle Dick- his voice large and booming but filled with kindness and encouragement. His heart, loving his children and still making me and my sisters feel like we were the most important nieces in the World. His love for my Auntie Aud- I can only imagine his eyes sparkled just as bright on their first date as they did the last time I saw them together- A TRUE love story. His shoulders- there was only one time I ever saw a slight slump to those broad shoulders, but he quickly composed himself in his own grief and carried not only my family but his own to get us all through those dark days. I never took the time to tell him that I remembered this, and I will regret that for the rest of my life. At a time when my heart is breaking for this loss, it is rejoicing in the fact that this wonderful man was my second father and I was blessed beyond words to be loved by him
