I am so sorry to hear of Dick’s passing. I sure miss conversations with him and your mother. They were so nice. Remember the good times.
I am so sorry to hear of Dick’s passing. I really enjoyed conversations with both him and your mother. They were such nice people and had such big hearts. I remember your dad and mine driving cars for dealerships. He always kept his lawn looking like a golf course and your mom kept the inside looking like a magazine. Remember the good times. You guys are in my thoughts and prayers.
My sympathy and prayers are with you and the entire family. When reading the obituary I smiled knowing your Dad lead a full,
fun filled life doing all the things he set out to accomplish…yeah for him. May you find peace and joy in the many memories created during your life with him as a father.
Love & hugs,
Aunt Terri
I am sorry for your loss. I always enjoyed my visits with your parents they were both great people!
Bill, John and Donna: So sorry to hear of your father’s passing. May he be at peace and rest. Your parents were always so kind to both us when we were their neighbors. I think of them both often with fond memories. May your memories help to ease the pain of loss in the days ahead. Again, both your parents were wonderful and thoughtful people
Our sympathy to all of you. We are remembering Dick fondly…me from working at Wayne with him and also my husband from the many social events.
Bill, John, & Donna

So sorry to hear of the passing of your Dad. I worked with him at Wayne Mutual Insurance and enjoyed the times getting to talk with him. My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time.
Dick was one of a kind, no doubt about it! I have many fond memories and great stories from working with him at Wayne. He was great to work for; had a wonderful sense of humor, and he taught me a lot. I continue to miss him!
So sorry to read this my deepest sympathy for the Zoss family your in my thoughts and prayers
My Deepest Sympathy to John and the rest. My Husban and I met your Dad New Years night,on a service call. Very special man. Enjoyed chatting about his planes. So very sorry.
Many memories growing up w/ your family as neighbors & your dad taking walks & stopping to talk w/my dad. I also worked w/Dick @ Wayne Mutual for a few years before he retired. Our thoughts & prayers are w/you all…Godspeed
Bill, Donna, John…………Words cannot begin to describe my thoughts and memories of your Dad. Quite often he would start a story to me and although I had heard it numerous times I would again listen to it as it always seemed to light up his face and voice as he retold it. Stories of Nationwide, golf, model planes, the Highway Patrol and so many more. There are a few that will stay with me forever. I know you miss him (and your Mom)…..so do I.
