Dick was one of the nicest people I have known. Both him and Trudy always made me feel comfortable at family get-togethers. When I visited him, he really made me feel like he was happy I came. I am so glad I went to see him because he made me laugh and I really enjoyed the visit. I am lucky to have known Dick and enjoyed his family over the years. Dick is going to be missed by family and friends. You were loved by everyone. I am glad to have been one of those people.

Such a pleasure to get to know such a great guy. I was proud to call him Gramps and he was always happy to see me and our perfect family. I have learned so much from him over the years. He welcomed me to the family as Jennifer's husband and has always treated me like one of his own grand children. He went above and beyond building me the best Jack Stands ever for my racecars, the best Flag Pole ever, and many other things that Jennifer and I needed or liked that he built over the years. His love for his family and friends has inspired me to want to be just like him! God Bless Gramps! We're all going to miss you!
