  1. As we grow older, cherished memories of good friends and times shared with them are never forgotten. We will long remember the many times we travelled with Dick and Dorothy to many strange places in the world. What a joy it was to have Dick and his humor as a traveling companion also. Thank you, Dick, for those great times! Our deepest sympathies to you, Dorothy and to members of your family. We will always remember Dick.

  2. Dick truly made the world a better place. I will miss that Irish twinkle in his eyes. Love and sympathy, Dorothy, to you and your family.

  3. Family and friends you have my deepest sympathy. This is a difficult time for most. There are basic things that can help anyone get through the pain no matter what age, gender or religious beliefs. Many have been helped with the twelve basics or just a few. You can go to jw.org and get the basics with no cost ever. See the article “Help for those who grieve “ in the magazine section. Anyone can get help and comfort.
