My deepest sympathy Winnie and family – he will be missed! Yes, he was a likable man and would glide you, Winnie, around the dance floor with his smooth steps, as well as yours following him! The last time I talked with Dick was at a dance and he was so secretly trying to plan your birthday party this year – he didn’t know how he was going to get you secretly there. I believe he pulled it over though! Rest Easy Dick!
So sorry for your loss …loved watching him and winnie dance …
