Joy, My thoughts are with you at this time. I saw you & Dick at Hornbachers on 13th Ave. you two were leaving as I drove up. I wished I would have been 5 mins earlier. Dick was such a gentle & kind man. Always went out of his way to say Hi & have that big smile on his face. RIP Dick !! Suzi
I first met Dick when we played park board baseball together. He and I were a novelty at the time.We were both left handed and pitchers. We never forgot one another over the years and when we crossed paths our conversations were lengthy. The last one we had together was outside the Frying Pan restaurant about a year ago. He wanted to talk and Joy wanted to go. Joy’s parents were friends of my parents. Rest in peace lefty. Jim Ebsen
My cousin Dick to me was a extremely thoughtful and kind man. Dick always asked questions about what and how I was doing with a genuine and caring heart. Praying for peace, love and joy during this time of grieving and loss.
Love,
Paul and Teri Forsberg
