Peggy and family: so sorry for the loss of your husband and father. Dick was a wonderful man. He served our youth in Boy Scouts teaching them wisdom and lessons of life. He truly made a difference in all of the boys’ lives. He also had a great sense of humor too. He will be greatly missed.

Sorry to hear of your loss. He will be missed. Spent good scouting time and auction time with him.
Thank you Rick, Dick found great enjoyment in providing learning opportunities to the scouts, as well as his interaction with those who shared in his mission. He was always excited about your presentation to the scouts in the Mendon community. Best wishes for you and your family.
Condolences to Dick’s wife and family. My late husband and I had the pleasure of working with Dick during our son’s scouting days. He was a good guy, sharing his knowledge with the kids patiently. I think he was there for every camp out and hike (rain, sleet or snow). Rest peacefully Dick.
Hi Kathy, Thank you, Dick enjoyed watching the scouts accomplish their goals and learn new skills. Best wishes to you and your family. Peggy
