Condolence: Kathy, Robbie and Karen. I am so sorry to hear of your loss of your dad. Do not think I am crazy but I had a dream talking to him on the porch Tuesday. The day he had passed. I do not know why it still brings me to tears and makes me so moved at the same time.

It was the standard conversation I had with him sitting on the milk box on the front porch and him smoking his cigarette. Still in disbelief when Charla called and told me on Wednesday that he had gone to be with your mother. I miss the old days off 5th Ave and the great families we had there. Not many left now.

My Dad being almost 94 and still riding his motorcycle and living independently as he does is just amazing. We get up there as much as we can. I am glad that at least Robbie and Kathy had your dad so close the last years. It means allot for the grand kids got to know him. Dick was a very good man and great at what he did and such a gentle giant. We will truly miss him as we miss all of you.

I will put a mass card at St. Timothy's Catholic Church in Tappahannock, VA where I go to church so Father does it on his Birthday.
Please stay in touch.

Condolence: Dear Cathy, Rob abd Karen,

Please accept my deepest sympathies and condolences at the death of your father. He was always such a kind and good man who was fun to be around. Mom and Dad, Allie always enjoyed Dick when we were visiting Teen or at other family gatherings.

We commend Dick to our loving God and trust he is having a great reunion with Peggy and the rest of the family.

I regret that I will not be able to get to Clearfield for the wake or funeral but know that I will keep him and you in y prayers!

Condolence: Dear Cathy and Family,

I am so very sorry about the passing of your father. I can remember walking down the street to your home, and your parents were often sitting on the porch. They certainly helped chauffeur us to various events when we were kids. It was bittersweet looking at the photos you have shared with us. I believe my brother, Richie, actually started kindergarten with Karen at Third Ward. Please know that I am praying for all of you during this difficult time. Love, Brenda

Condolence: It is an honor to send a condolence of sympathy to all of the family. Dick and I met at Third Ward School, and were friends all the way to graduation. Our paths did not cross much thereafter, buy my memory of a wonderful and kind friend have always been a part of me. May God's blessings be with all of you.

Condolence: Rob and family, I was so sorry to learn of your father's passing. Please know you are in Cindy's and my prayers at this very difficult time. Jim Mando
