Sue & Mark StegbauerWe are heartbroken for your loss, Jane, and will miss Dick’s wisdom, humor, and kindness so much. His love for you was unmatched, and we loved hearing his stories about your children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Dick was such a wonderful neighbor, and we so cherished our time with him. Heaven gained an angel, and we’re sure he’s giving golf lessons and tips on keeping a well-groomed yard. We will miss him so.
