I’m saddened to read of Dick’s passing, but he told me various times at my visits with him that he wanted to go. So now he is finally at peace with our Heavenly Father in his eternal kingdom of everlasting life. I will miss him dearly and remember him fondly always. R.I.P. Dick

Sorry to hear of Dick’s passing. I have special memories of Dick and Shirley at Good Shepherd. He and my grandmother were cousins so we often shared memories of our families. I was fortunate to work with him when he served as treasurer at the church, talking about Penn State, and how proud he was of his family. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
