Uncle Dick gave of himself to protect our family during a time of great need. For this we are forever indebted. To his family and friends we wish to express our sympathy for this loss.

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. My Dad worked for Dick for many years and with Dick’s guidance and support sold my Dad one of his market stands. I will never forget the times when I would come over to the shop in East Petersburg when my Dad, Cliff Bixler, worked there, and all of the good times that we had on market – Green Dragon, Broomall, etc. I wish I could be doing that today. I just asked my Dad about Mr. Heagy the week before last. You have always been in our thoughts. God Bless your family.
Love,
Lisa Bixler Witman
I sincerely loved and appreciated your love and care through your sister Dorothy’s difficult times. You will not be forgotten Uncle Dick. My deepest condolences to family and friends.

Nancy,
I remember you from the days you attended Salem UCC in Rohrerstown and how sad we were when Ken and your second husband passed away. Now I express my sympathy once again to you in the passing of your husband. My dad, Herb Kraybill, went home to be with the Lord on Sat, March 24, 2012. My prayers are with you and your family during this time.
Nancy Kraybill Sabb
