I am beyond sorry to see this dearh notice and my deepest condolences I certainly send to you. you and Dicky were both so dearand precious to me though I have not seen either of you in a number of years. I have thought of you both often and obviously I still do. I have no doubt where Dicky is and praise God for bringing the two of you into my life..

I just learned today of Dickie's passing. He was always a joyful soul and I loved talking to him when I worked at Sanders Plumbing. I know how much he was loved and I know he will be very much missed. Prayers of comfort and peace to Dickie's family.

Sue,
My heart broke even more when I heard this news. I was trying desperately to reach you both to let you know about mom's passing. Uncle Dickie was such a joy to Bradley and me. He taught us so many things, but I remember him teaching us to water ski most. He will be dearly missed. He is with mom, dad, and Bradley now. I'm sure they are skiing and fishing in heaven.
All my love,
Heather

So sorry to hear of Dickey passing. He loved kids and enjoyed working with the WASH program at church. He always had a big smile on his face every time he heard of one of them accepting Christ. He would say… welcome to the family of God. I always enjoy talking politics with him and enjoyed being around him. He always enjoyed going to conferences with me and he was a very smart man who could do anything. He is reaping his reward and will be missed. Prayers for Ms Sue and his girls as he called them.

To Sue and the family, I'm so sorry for your loss. Dickie was a great man. I always enjoyed visiting with him at church, Lion's Club and the bank. He was full of knowledge and loved the Lord with all his heart. That was so evident in his life. I know he also cared for his family deeply. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
