So sorry for your families loss. I was a coworker of Dicks at Kellogg’s and he was a very quiet and gentle man. He never had a bad word to say about anything or anyone. I will keep you all in my prayers. Jessica Nace

Celeste, Rocco, Josianne, Ross and Ana,
Angie and I have a candle lit today in front of the crucifix as a a prayer for Richard and all of you and your family. We remember Richard the most from his visit to our house here in Florida where we shared a meal together and talked. I am sure he was so proud of his two great boys and all the beautiful grandchildren. May he rest in peace in the arms of our God and savior Jesus.
we love you.
