Dick was a spiritual mentor to myself and many others at Green Pond UMC.
He had a big heart and will be sorely missed on this side.
Until we meet again brother…

I lived next door to Dick for 60 years. He was a great neighbor and we had
many fun times. He could always make you laugh with his humor. Missed
him when he went to the Nursing home and will continue to miss him. However he is at home with Claudette and Wendy and is happy now.

Remembering a friend with a kind smile, a hearty laugh and a grateful heart…. he and his lovely wife both welcomed us with kindness at church when our family first began attending and from there we became friends…. Claudette and Richard, as she always spoke of him, reunited again…. Much Peace to the family and friends

So sorry to learn of his passing. He and Claudette were members of the Penn State football away-game traveling group that my husband Don started years ago. We had lots of fun times with many of Dick’s hilarious antics!
Most of our group has passed on now. Lots of fond memories of days gone by…
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Ann Anderson and family
