I remember visiting Uncle Dick (as we called him) with my sisters when we went with Dad to Rigolet in the summertime many years ago. He was always in a cheerful mood and always had a big smile for us.
I did get to see him in March 2023 — he still had smiles then as well. As Flo said – “I will never forget Uncle Dick”.
Proverb: “Perhaps they are not stars in the sky but rather openings where the love of our lost ones shines down to let us know they are happy”.
Rest In Peace Uncle Dick
I also send my deepest condolences to all of Uncle Dick’s family.
I will never forget Uncle Dick. Whenever I asked him how he was, he always responded “I’m happy, Sister”. What a wonderful outlook on life!
Rest In Peace, Uncle.. you left this world surrounded by your family and that says so much about you.
Cousins, my family and I send you our sincere condolences. Take care of each other.
To all the Family. You are in our thoughts and Prayers. May the Love, Strength and peace of God , sustain you at this difficult time and the days ahead. Much love Rev Gail, Sonny and family. ❤️
Sorry to hear of Dick’s passing, sending hugs to you all.
