I am so sorry for the loss of your husband, father, and grandfather. My brother, Vernon Schild was a very good friend of Dick's growing up. Dick's parents lived behind us. My brother was know as Sonny to most, Vern to his friends. We were the family of 10 kids in the neighborhood at the time. Again, sorry for the loss of someone you loved so much.
