So sorry to hear of your loss. Prayers to you and your family
David:
Its a sad time for you. Your dad had a full and complete life with a family that cared for him. For that, you can be thankful. Al Kamas
David, Ive never known a man more devoted to his father than you. Your example is inspiring to sons everywhere and certainly a testament to how much you loved your dad, and how much he returned that love. May choirs of angels lead him to his final resting and place.
RIP Dick….I really enjoyed working with Dick at BCS BOEING for many years. Prayers for his family.
Betty, David, Gary and family. I was sorry to hear about the death of Dick. He hired me at Boeing in 1977 and he was a wonderful man to work for and I will always be grateful for him hiring me. I am very sorry to have missed the funeral and not be able to see all of you. I will always remember his truck he drove to Boeing! God be with
all of you in this very hard time.
Gary and Donna, deepest sympathy from Pete and me in the loss of your dad.
Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
