Linda, we are so sad to see this passing of your husband.
He was such a kind, quiet man.
Remember him sitting on the porch when we would go by.
I also believe he enjoyed a few of my raisin pies,
He will be missed.

To Linda and Dick’s loving family, we want to extend our deepest sympathy to you all in the loss of this special man.  We are so thankful that we were able to spend a little time in Florida renewing our friendship with Dick after almost 50 years, as well as meeting you Linda for the first time.  Rick, I don’t know if you remember me or not but my maiden name is Wilson and as a child, we owned the farm where you and your dad use to come to hunt. After so many years, I still recognized his beautiful smile. I am sad we didn’t have more time to catch up on life but I am so thankful that we shared the same love of Jesus and I know that he is now in Heaven with our Savior. May the Lord give you all His peace and comfort you in this time of loss. In His Love, Tom & Ginger Bell

Dick has been our neighbor and good friend in Florida for a number of years. We have enjoyed visiting with Dick and Linda on their sun porch to chat and discuss things together. He will be missed but not forgotten. We send our sympathy and prayers to Linda and all the family. Love, Bill and Mary Sack

Dick was a very gracious man one who led many by his example, as one who grew up being allowed to use his cabin in Mifflin county I always enjoyed my time there on youth retreats, boys brigade outings both in the summer and winter. He will be greatly missed, his legacy of family lives on to show God’s glory. Praying for you all and praising God for your dad’s testimony. John D. Longenecker

To Linda and to Dick’s beloved family.
My sincere condolences on the loss of a truly wonderful man.    He brought love and joy into the life of Linda which is a precious and beautiful thing.
Dick was always kind and cheerful to me.  I will always remember his love and enthusiasm for Penn State football.
I know without a doubt that he is resting comfortably in Heaven.    He will be missed.💔Sandi Burnett

Rick, Lynn, Sandi, Terri,
The memories we made on Murray Hill Dr and at MTHS are some of my most cherished.  Your dad was a great friend to all of us and lots of fun to be around.  I hope you all find peace in knowing he was admired by many and is now with the Lord.  -Doug Baile

Linda, I am sorry to learn of your loss of Dick. I know you were a very special encouragement to him after the loss of Doris. May you have many fond memories of your time together. I will not be able to attend the service as I have a plasma pheresis treatment at Hershey Medical Center that day and am tired after getting home. Frances Sears
