  1. Dear Valerie, Steve and Family, Please accept our condolences. I remember Dick as a very kind, friendly man with whom I sat through many a Coleman basketball game. Steve and Bryan were good friends, but I guess we have all lost contact. It is my prayer that your good memories and happy thoughts of Dick, and the presence and peace of God will comfort you in your grief. It was not possible for me to get to the funeral yesterday, but I want you to know I am sorry to have missed it and you are in my prayers. Sincerely, Tricia Hanning
