Aunt Maxine and family,
So sorry to hear about Dick. We all loved him and enjoyed our time visiting with both of you when time permitted us to get back to WV. I’ll never forget his “crazy eyes” glasses that he would put on to make the kids laugh. I especially wont forget playing with the “toy” boats on the lake on your houseboat, the personal notes in the Christmas cards and drinking Miller beer while playing cards. Much love and prayers.
Maxine,I’m so sorry about your husband’s passing. I worked with Dick at WTRF many years ago. He was a wonderful person and I miss him. I know he is in Heaven where we will see him again someday. Lou Wojcicki and Sandy
