Uncle Jack, Billy, Rob, Linda, Gerry, Mary and family,
I have been spending time with my Mom here in Steamboat Springs as she absorbs Dick’s passing and worries about Uncle Jack and the family.  There is no way to express enough the sadness we feel that he left this world as such a young age.  Our prayers go out to you that each day will bring you a little more peace and will help to lessen the feeling of heartbreak and sorrow.  
Love, 
Lynne Barton Bier

Dear Jack, Mary and family 
I remember being with Dick and getting pleasure from hearing his voice in our conversations. I also enjoyed when I got to watch him dance and seeing him with his family.  Sending love and blessings your way, and praying that you find peace as you face each day without him. Love Arlene (Aunt Arlene) Barton

Mary & family – Our thoughts and prayers are with you. So sorry that we were not at the service.  Dick was a very special man. Even though we did not get to see each other very often during our adult years, I treasured him as my cousin and admired his many talents and interests. Condolences – Sandie (& Tony) Stinnett

Thinking of and Praying for all of you.  I knew Dick more than half of my life, I know that you are all missing his smile and his huge personality.  There is no one else quite like him…. I picture him up there looking down on all of us wanting to see smiles on our faces and remembering all of our happy moments with him.  You will all remain in my prayers…. With Love, Susannah Gray

To all of Dick’s family
We send my heartfelt sorrow your way in your loss.  Mike & Dick were fellow Armstrong employee’s and I enjoyed line dancing with Dick as our instructor for many years.  He was so good at it and just wanted everyone to have a good time.  He would even walk around to the new people and ask if he can help them learn something when the lessons were over and the other people were dancing.  He so loved it.  I remember how when teaching, he would give us an 8 count and then turn around with his one hand in the air, Questions!  I will never hear that word and not think of him.  I hope he enjoys the dance floor in heaven.  I know he will be all about it. So in a deep, strong voice I give him 5-6-7-8
Take care, Mary and family.  He will be greatly missed.

To All The Arment Family, (Which I’ve known since elementary school and we all lived on Prince St.!)
You, his loved ones bear a loss at this time that will at times seem unbearable.  Such a loss at a very young age to such a very nice guy.  Remain proud of Dick as part of your loving family, time can not take away your memories that you will always cherish.
Wishing you a peace in the days, months and years to come, with sympathy, Linda Musser Lindemuth

Dick taught me my very first line dance 16 years ago at Knights of Columbia on New Danville Pike.  I remember how patient he was with new dancers.  He really wanted us to like this wonderful form of exercise and companionship.  He was such a good teacher, that for the past couple of years I have been teaching along side of him at AmVets. He got me hooked. And those of us who still attend the dances he started at AmVets are keeping it going in his honor.  
My deepest symphathies go out to his family for their loss.  We miss him so much, also.  I can still hear his deep voice ringing out 5-6-7-8.

Dancing Dick,  That is what we called him at Armstrong… He always had a smile on his face and was so sweet to everyone he talked to… I will always remember his smiling face.  He never talked mean to anyone or was in a bad mood.. What a guy now he is teaching the angels how to line dance.   He made a joke about my husband and me and called us LIZ & DICK…  RIP  Dick   LIZ & DICK BARR

God has just received a very special angel…..Richard always participated in every fundraising event we asked of him, he always wanted to help others including those who suffered with cancer…he will be sadly missed and our thoughts and prayers go out to our dear friend Mary and his awesome children Missy and Brian.  Our love, Marcie & Gary

I am so saddened to hear of Richard’s passing. We found out through conversation that we were related in some way. He taught me how to country line dance at the Barn. I always told him he would be the DJ at my wedding and he could get everyone on the floor dancing the night away! My deepest condolences to the family. He was a great man and will be missed by many. My respect for his service in our Military.

I’m sorry to read of Dick’s passing. I use to go to school with him and we went to basic and AIT together at Fort Dix. We flew over to Viet Nam together and that is where we parted for the year over there. ONce we were out of the service than again we were together at Armstrong. I worked in tile so wouldn’t see much of him but when we would see each other we would talk. After we retired I would see him at the Armstrong breakfast. They had a saying over in Viet Nam and I think it is true for Dick. It goes when I die I know I’m going to heaven because I served my time in hell In Viet Nam. May he rest in peace.

Dear Robbie,Bill,and Family,
 Joyce and I would like to extend our sincere condolences and deepest sympathies on the loss of Richard Jr.
 Dick was a friend and co-worker for more than 30 years at Armstrong. He was one of the strongest men I have ever known and I
 always admired his great confidence,determination,and never give up attitude! We spent countless hours together on the
 basketball court where I watched Dick make himself into a very good player. He will be greatly missed her on earth,but I have no
 doubt that we will be together again when God calls us home!
 Love and Prayers in Christ Jesus,
 Joyce and Steve RogersAET

Dancing Dick!  As neighbors in New Danville, we didn’t spend much time together, but we spent a lot of time with Dick at the Blue Star, Stoudt’s and the Lancaster Host dancing to country music back in the day. He was a great guy and will be missed.  My condolences to Mary, Brian, Melissa and all of the family.  Sharon Myers, formerly of New Danville.
