Rick and Dawn Olson says
Dick was a great friend and co-worker. We played softball and bowled together on the same team. He was also in our wedding party as a groomsmen. We remember going with Dick to watch his daughter play basketball and going out on the river on his boat. You all have our deepest sympathy. Dick was a great guy and will be deeply missed.

I am so sorry for your loss. I remember the way he laughed at everything. When I was younger and when we lived next door, you’s had the collie who was a great watch dog. Mom (Donna Hanson) is in the hospital, cancer all gone but kidney is bad. Have to go, hope to see all of you real soon. And again so sorry.

I remember meeting many of you as you visited him at Mack and I want to extend my sincere sympathy to all of you. Even though I haven’t heard of seen Dick since he left, I still think of him often and all the good times we had. Sincerely, Gayle (Roskos) Wandrey
