I have fond memories of going to Kimberly when I was young to visit my Grandparents and Aunt Arlene and Uncle Dick and family. We always had fun listening to funny stories and visiting with the only cousins we had. Uncle Dick was quite the story teller and once you got a cold beer in him the laughs just flowed. I always admired the closenest of the family and know that in times like this it is that strength and faith that will help them thru this. My thoughts and prayers are with you all! Love, Melody Tennis-Coffey Family

Dick, Thank you for being a good father-in-law and Grandpa. I thank God everyday you had one more D name left for that 5th one!! You instilled in your children great values - your faith in God, your dedication to your wife, how to work hard and how to not take yourself to serious! I will miss your unmistakable laugh - and the more we laughed at it the more you laughed!! I haven't heard that laugh in a long time, I truly hope you found it again in heaven and I will look forward to hearing it again one day! I loved stopping over and saying something that got your blood pressure raised - like what we paid for a beer while on vacation. While on this last vacation, I can't tell you how many times Dennis said to me "I can't wait to tell my Dad about this one". I am so sorry he never got to tell you. Don't worry about "Mom", she is in good hands with all of us. Enjoy life without all the aches and pains - you deserve it my friend! Love from Daughter-in-law #4 .... Lisa
Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

Grandpa O.. I will miss you! Thanks for always having juice boxes in the fridge for me when I was little (even tho you never knew how to put that "darn" straw in the pouch!). Thanks for always having an extra cookie to share with me. You never missed a birthday party. I will never forget walking in the livingrom on every visit, sitting on the couch and you checking out my shoes! "What size are those things? You will be wearing Grandpa's shoes in no time!" Grandpa, no one will ever fill your shoes. Love, Jordan O
