I remember Dick & Betty from the market on Denise Rd. What a happy/friendly person Dick was (Betty was more reserved), and you always looked forward to going in there not only for the fantastic meat they sold, but to visit with them. The world has lost a good one, that is for sure, but I am happy to see that he almost lived long enough to see his 91st! God bless Dick & Betty and their entire family.
Uncle Dick. We Love you. I remember going down to the store as a kid. You and Aunt Betty were the BEST. God Bless!
