Due to his commitment and due to geography I saw my uncle only a handful of times over the last 20 years- it was always a goal to time my homecoming visits with his. <br />I know he enjoyed catching up with family and friends, and those people savored the time with him. Dick had a comfortable flair about him that captivated all in his presence. <br />The last time I saw dick was at a barbeque at my sister's house. I spent the afternoon sitting with Dick on the deck, enjoying his company, his opinions, and his pipe smoke infused wit. <br /> I am happy that he was able to meet my wife on our last visit, and sad that he will not be there to meet our son during our next visit. <br />He is a great man who will be missed and remembered, and praised as an icon of faith.<br />Tim BrenanUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12676450725733931738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5397690736097672103.post-26020010322893015962009-11-01T21:08:52.532-06:002009-11-01T21:08:52.532-06:00My condolences on the loss of your friend, Father....My condolences on the loss of your friend, Father.
