The world has lost a wonderful man.. but heaven has gained an amazing angel. With deepest sympathy I want you to know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Dick was truly an amazing person and took me under his wing and protected me all through public school while I rode to and from school each day. I am sure he will be missed terribly by his whole family but I pray that time helps to heal all your hearts and that you all feel his presence with you each and every day when he looks down on you from heaven as your guardian angel. We will all carry our memories of this wonderful man in our hearts and he will always be with us. Rest in peace Dick and know how loved you are and how much you will be missed.
