KENN ROTHMAN - CLEVELAND OHIO
Dick, you were one of the unsung hero's that took the Oath of military service.. You and Lois kept us safe and we all are in your debt for that. I know that your many friends and shipmates are much poorer with your passing, as are we. Annette and I regret we did not have more opportunities to hear your stories, but your 1000 watt smile welcoming us as new neighbors was so greatly appreciated and so typical of you and Lois. Your zipping up and down the street on your electric chariot was a sight to remember, but your kindness to us is what we will always remember. You were a good and honorable man, May you rest in peace as one of our nations hero's in Arlington National Cemetery. We join your friends and shipmates, and say "Bravo Zulu" Dick, well done!
Annette and Bert Cream
Hugs and prayers to all the family members from your friends at St. Stephen's. Dick was a wonderful person and we all will miss him. Lois, we are here for you.
Nancy Dubiell and family
Lois, Don and I were so sorry to hear about Dick. We hope that time and wonderful memories will help to ease your pain. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. With our Sympathy, Doris and Don Jenkins
There are no words that can express the sadness and sorrow we feel for you, Rob, Mark and their families.
After Dad passed away, Dick was the one I knew I could reach out to for advice, encouragement and mentoring. Since the two of you were married, I looked up to him and as I grew and I was commissioned, he was the individual I wanted to emulate even more.
Our family has lost a part of its foundation, but he saw to it that we could continue on, although it will not be the same.
All of our love to you, Rob & Sandi, Mark & Lisa, Lindsey, Brian and Jared.
Doug & Kathy, Jim & Katie, Erica, Ryan, Colin, Logan & Graeme
Dick was a strong example to us of a strong, Christian man. We miss you, Dick! With smiles and prayers for the family, Jean and Jerry Taylor
We will miss Dick very much. We have many fond memories of him at St. Stephen's United Methodist Church.

Dick was a quiet, gentle force. That brought joy, happiness and laughter to all who met him; you will be sorely missed by everyone.” You may be gone but never forgotten.
