Dick worked for the body shop for several years until his retirement. He was not just a dependable employee, but a beloved friend, and over the years thought of as an extended family member.

He will be remembered for the kind, gentle, generous, loving soul that he was.

Our hearts and prayers go out to Evelyn and Dick’s families. He will be greatly missed.
