My sympathy to the family. I have many fond memories of Dean, Leotis & Dick, Dottie, Jim, Joy & Jon, & also sharing lots of good music with his brother Bill. Sincerely!
Dick, My deepest sympathy to you on the loss of your Dad — the picture looks just like I remember him. He was always a lot of fun!
Dick, you have my deepest sympathy. When I saw the picture in the paper my first memory was when he took us to a basketball game in the truck!
