I was shocked to read of "Dickie's" death. You all have my heartfelt condolences. I'm sure your parents were there to greet him. I had gone to the Herald & Review website to check on a classmates obit. & found out the very sad news. Again, so sorry to read this sad news.
You will truely be missed. I loved seeing you at the Tea Room and the Volleyball games. We had a very special way of saying "hello". Your family was very luckly to have someone like you to call husband, dad, grandfather, & FRIEND. Prayers are with you all. The Glidewell Family
Thinking of the fun times we had when we were so young. I remember ever time I showed up at the front door Dick would always say "Judy, hide the pepsi she is back." for some reason the day would always end up with a water fight. It seems pretty silly know but ( don't tell the gramdkids) I can remember someone ended a water fight with a garden hose in the house. That was a long time ago, but we had some good times.So sorry for your loss. Jessie
