Sorry to hear of this.  One of my best friends I ever had. Many a good times we had together.

I am saddened to hear of the passing of "Dickie" Harper. I always considered you as my Step Father. My career in the RCN started in your shadow and fatherly protection. I thanked you for that and considered that a great start to my 36 year career. I apologize for letting you down and going to the real navy being a "Sandy Bottom Sailor".
You will be missed, Fair Winds and Following Seas.

PO1 (Ret'd) Andre Sheppard SSM CD2

My heart aches, knowing that you’re not here anymore but at the same time I’m so glad that I got to spend your final moments with you. Say hello to Grammy and Grampy from me. I love you

I know Daddy was waiting for you with a darn good welcome home party! You will be missed, Uncle Dicky. 💕 Say Hi to Daddy for me. 🕊️

Daddy, you are much loved and missed!  I will never forget you and the things you taught me.  Rest in Peace dear daddy, until we are together again!

Hugs and Kisses,
Candy Harper

Nancy and family:
