"I have fond memories as a child of Uncle Richard bringing us huge hormel gift baskets. He is in Gods hands now and doesn't have to suffer anymore. God bless you Richard."

"God saw that you were tired so he came and took you home. He knew you were a Christian so it didn't take that long. You achieved great things on earth and I can only imagine what he has in store for you to do. Be a hammer or a saw I'm sure you'll still do good things in heaven.

Rest in Peace, Uncle Dick.
