To all family and friends, I am sorry for your loss. Difficult times such as these are made better when we consider Jehovah's comforting words found in the Bible.1 Corinthians 15:26 helps comfort us in knowing that God's Kingdom will bring death to it's end. This is just one of many comforting promises that Jehovah will fulfill. I hope this brings you some comfort during this difficult time.

I will miss Dick. I got to know him very well during our many trips to present Savannah Navy League Awards to Marines and Sailors. He was just hitting his stride as a new Navy League Director and becoming more involved in our Sea Service support projects. He was a very nice person.
