My most heartfelt condolences to the Dicks family. Although I didn’t know Roy personnally, I had the great privilege of spending a week (free of charge) with his parents, Uriah & Fanny in 1957, while completing Grade IX Provincial Public Exams.. Roy’s kindness was obviously rooted in good stock!
Our sincerest condolences and prayers to Marie and family.
