I am so sorry to hear of Dick's death. I haven't seen him for many years but have wonderful memories of time spent with Aunt Lillian and Uncle George and Dick. It's sad that their whole family is now gone.

Dear Family, I am saddened by Uncle Dick's death and know what a difficult time it is. But, I smiled when I saw the photo. He would love that one! Due to being in transition I cannot get up north, but you know my prayers and thoughts will be with you all during this time. Love, Beth

Helen, I'm so sorry to hear about Dick's passing. My sister and I were just talking about him yesterday when I was in Follansbee for an all class reunion. I'm sorry I can't be there as I just came home from Follansbee an hour ago after being there all weekend. Checked the obituaries in the Herald Star Online and was shocked. And we also lost a Burchfield relative who used to live in Toronto. Donna
