Dad,

I have learned about a new side of you these last weeks. I just wish I had a moment to share the awesome words with you that people said about you. Of course I'll miss your sarcasm and dark humor, but take hear both will live on in your daughters! I'm glad you're at peace. As William Cullen Bryant said,

"Thou'rt gone, the abyss of heaven
Hath swallowed up thy form; yet, on my heart
Deeply hath sunk the lesson thou hast given,
And shall not soon depart."

Love Always,
Bethany Daley, A-Boo-La-Boo##imported-begin##Bethany D. Miller##imported-end##

He will always be remembered as you share the stories and the memories of how he lived his life and how very much he meant, may you find comfort...And, throughout this difficult time, may you also know the deep sympathy and concern that is felt for you and all your family. I have fought the fine fight, I have run the course to the finish, I have observed the faith.-2Timothy 4:7. As for me, I will lie down that I may sleep; I shall certainly awake, for Jehovah himself keeps supporting me. -Psalms 3:5##imported-begin##Magallon Family##imported-end##

Dick, There were many years we were together and memories we shared. I will continue to hold them in my heart. You were a loving father and always wanted the best for our daughters. I know you were, as I am, very proud of all of them, each for their unique ways and they were your loving and caring daughters to the very end. I look forward to the ceremony that will take you to your final resting place at Arlington -- the right and honor you earned and deserve. You were an honorable man. Love always, all ways --May/Mary##imported-begin##Mary##imported-end##

Pam, Chris, Bethany, Michelle, Nicholas, Michael, and Jack, Your father/ grandfather played a very important role in my life after college by providing oppertunities which allowed me to grow into the person I have become today. I will never forget his kindness, generosity, and hospitality in those earily years during my transition from college grad to adulthood. Rest in Peace Dick. The difference you made in the lives of so many will be missed. Randy##imported-begin##Randy Benton##imported-end##

As evidenced by these lovely postings it's easy to see how very loved and respected you are. You will be greatly missed. My heart goes out to your loved ones left behind.##imported-begin##Jeanne Placon##imported-end##

Uncle Dick, thank you for giving me so many wonderful memories, especially when I was a child. I will always fondly remember your letters from Santa that you sent me, the story about the camel with the dirty feet, and especially the time I spent "stealing" your freckles. You were like a second father to me, and I'll forever cherish those memories of those times I spent with you. May God hold you in his arms, and may you be at peace.##imported-begin##Diane Kimball##imported-end##

I met Dick many, many years ago when he and Mary were first married. Although I didn't know him well, he was easy to be with and I enjoyed the few visits we had. I trust that he is now at rest in the arms of God. My prayers are with his girls.##imported-begin##Sr. Bernadette##imported-end##
