Dorothy (nee Seim), his wife of the past 27 years, will miss him terribly, as will his children Louise (Paul), Maureen (Jeff) and Jim (Liz) who will pass on the 'grampa' stories to 'Dick's' grandchildren, Lindsay and Rick, Laurel, Noel and Tyler, and Erin and Alana at every family gathering, especially the Mandarin at Christmas. He will also be missed by Dorothy's sister Betty and niece Mary (Dave) and their children Jeff and Ryan. Dick is predeceased by his first wife Myrtle, sister Claire (Henry), Dorothy's brother-in-law Frank and nephew John. There will also be a big 'hole' in the hearts of those friends at Leaside United Church, especially the counters and 'rag pickers.'
