Deepest condolences to the entire family, “Uncle” Dickie was a great person who used to make us laugh with his witty humor , I grew up next door, his brother William became my Uncle when he married my Aunt Bea and His brother Kenneth also was an uncle who married my Aunt Marie, so growing up there were lots of Uncles in our adopted family and a few Aunts, we loved everyone of them .
My deepest sympathy to all the family. Rick will be solely missed. He was always there for family and friends. He was family to me and all my family.
