My dad, the kindest man I've ever known. Not a day goes by that I don't thank the good Lord for putting me in my parents' arms as a newborn. My dad did so well with his paralysis and never complained; he didn't want anyone's pity. He forged ahead every day with dignity and perseverance. God Bless you, Dad. I miss you! You and Mom are together again and that makes Chris and me very happy. RIP.
Dick I will miss a lot. Today is a sad day,a loved one has been called away,for the family that remains help them to deal with the pain. A celebration of his life all the things he did right A glorious reunion of his soul with his wife and other love ones will be sight to behold. So lets all gather around one more time knowing we'll all gather again in the Devine . Bye for now. Say hi to my mom for me. Love you. Martha
Poppy, you're the best man I've ever known. For what you have done to effect this world and the lives around given your physical limitations speaks volumes as to the kind of man you are. Men like you (the greatest generation) are rare in today's society. We celebrate your life knowing that you are no longer in pain and in heaven with your wife. I love you.
A sweet gentle man. Rest in Peace and may you and your loved ones feel the grace of God near you. ~ Kathy Epeneter
Dick was the sweetest and kindest man I have ever met. It was my pleasure to not only be one of your caregivers but to be your friend. I miss you deeply and you will always have a place in my heart. As your friends and family mourn your passing many more are celebrating your homecoming behind the veil.
I can't believe I forgot Renee!! Renee, thank you for being so good to my dad. Thank you with all my heart.
To my dad's wonderful caregivers…Christine, Patricia, Martha, Diane, Ashley and Sarah: Words cannot express my gratitude for the excellent care, compassion and kindness you showed my dad.
