I was so very sorry to hear of Uncle Dick's passing. I fully realise that he lived a long life and yes..there is thanks in that. BUT..I think that when we lose a man that is a "man's man" a man that was tough and tender,who stood tall and strong when called on...and gentle and protective when needed...and intelligent to know the difference. That is the mark of a true man.They seem to have faded away with the tide of time.Or,maybe I am an old girl who still can remember the difference. I didn't know Uncle Dick well...but in the few times we shared company...it was easy for me to tell what style of fellow he was...and I say...I wish our world had more just like him.That is why his passing is a real loss.To Aunt Hazel...you choose a real character years ago,and you have had such a voyage together,that only you and Dick will truly know.You heart is broken...hold onto to your broken heart...for he lives there.To cousins Tammy,John and Micheal...I can well imagine what it was like growing up in the home of a man that was so "John Wayne"like. Quite a tower to look up to..I can imagine the challenge...but also the pride.Remember you are made from his blood...he will forever be with you. My deepest condolence and respect.
