Mark and I were so sorry to hear of Dick's passing. Growing up, our family shared many happy times with theirs. Dick was always full of great stories that kept us laughing for days. He also proudly shared those great cookies and candies that Betty made for the holidays with us.##imported-begin##Susan Vetter Linde##imported-end##
I've known Dick almost my entire life. We grew up 1 block apart, joined the Navy together and worked together at St. Regis after the war where along with our families, we continued our friendship. I will miss you, Dick, but we sure share many happy memories of our times together. Jerry Vetter##imported-begin##Jerry Vetter##imported-end##
Although I did not know him well, I can comment on the love that his daughter Rodonna had for him. I worked with Rodonna for the last three years and during that time, her family, especially her father, came first. Richard must have been a very special person to deserve that kind of love and devotion. I am sure that he will be missed by all those who knew him well.##imported-begin##Elaine Parke##imported-end##
WE always enjoyed seeing Dick while out shopping and catching up on doings of our kids and what was going on in our families. Our son and daughter went to school with his children Steve, Paul and Rhodna. We will miss his smiling face in our neighborhood.##imported-begin##Bob 'n Jo Gleason##imported-end##
There was no one better to have on call on weekends or nights at the mill than Dick. He bailed me out of trouble more than once while I was a relief tour boss. Both Dick and I were on the "Blue Eyes" shift during on of the labor strikes. Dick always gave 110%. I was sorry to see his name in the obits.##imported-begin##Steve Franson##imported-end##
It was always fun being around Dick. He always wore a smile on his face. He will be missed.
With sympathy and love,
