Uncle Dick

I always enjoyed coming to either of the farms to visit with Uncle Dick, Aunt Jean, and all my cousins.  We spent many a Christmas, etc. together.  Dennis, Carl, Gail, and Billy, I am so sorry for your loss and all your families' loss.  He was an amazing patriarch to an amazing and extended family.  We have all been blessed to have known him.  My prayers are with you all.
