5 Condolences
We are sorry to hear of Dick’s passing. Please accept our deepest sympathy and we will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.
Maxine Sorry to hear of Richard’s passing. I lost Naomi August 7. I haven’t been to SW Iowa for almost 4years.
Dick
Maxine, I hated to hear the news my grandpa called to share with me of Dick’s passing. I have many memories of the friendship the two of you shared with my grandparents (Ron and Betty). Thinking of you and your family during this time.
Maxine: Dick will always hold a special place in our hearts as we enjoyed many of good times with him. As one of our dad’s great friends we had the opportunity to grow up entertaining Dick both on the motocross track, at the golf course or at the local pub as he and dad enjoyed a cold beverage and a game of cards. We are thinking of you in the time of sorrow and offer our sincere condolences.
Our condolences to the family.
