Uncle Dick was a staple of our family holiday dinner table. Every Thanksgiving and Christmas he would lead us all in prayer -- it was always a favorite moment of mine. His clear love and zest for life will be truly missed -- but it will now forever remain in my heart as a guide and example to live by.
