  1. This was my Great Uncle Dick! He was such a sweet, happy man & farmer. I remember dancing with him on a Saturday night at the Eagles when I was visiting from California. He had more energy than me & he could have danced all night. Sure loved that guy! And he was even more precious after he married Olga. RIP
