Rest in peace good friend!!
Neighbor and fellow pilot!!I enjoyed visiting with Dick on several occasions at his home here at Eagle Landing. He was a patriot and proud of his military service. He and I shared some flying stories.We are losing so many of our veterans, this world is a better place because of their service.The poem, "High Flight" says it well: "I soured among the clouds and touched the face of God."
Family, Sorry for your loss: Isaiah 25:8 tells us that God will actually swallow up death forever and will certainly wipe the tears from all faces. The comfort, hope and abundant guidance in Almighty Gods Word can help now and always.
Gay, you and your family are in out thoughts and prayers.
We miss both Dick and Dianne. Wonderful people and lifetime friends.
