A friend since my childhood in 1949.
Have lots of memories with Dick. Sorry for your loss
Our prayers and thoughts are with Rich’s family during this most difficult time.
Richard will be missed. I so enjoyed chatting with him in the store and when he was out working in the yard during the summers. He could always make a person smile as he always had a kind word and a big smile for everyone. RIP my friend.
Dennis & family, Saddened to read about the loss of your brother. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and all your family. Your friends, Lorne & Pat Ruzicka
So sorry….((((hugs)))) and prayers to all of you. Dennis and Linda I remember all those great times we had at the farm in the summers.
We were sorry to learn of Richard’s death. I had visited with him since he returned to Miller but our paths didn’t cross very often. I know his Mom, Minnie, was proud of her kids–she spoke of them often. May your good memories, along with God’s love and grace, help ease your loss.
Best Regards, sorry I couldn’t back it back at this time.
Wow can’t believe had some good times together
Dennis and family, So sorry to hear of your loss. Richard was a great guy. I had a lot of good times with him. Proud to have called him a friend. God bless.
