Dick was a wonderful friend to my parents, John and Margaret Maloney. Rest in peace.
Prayers to the Ott family.

Dick, you were the greatest. A heart that loved and gave compassionately. Your sense of humor always got me and held me captive. Often you knew and understood things about who I was, pointed them out to me....still things I contemplate about myself today. You were wise about people and the experience of being human. Thank you for all you gave to me and to others with your life.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.  We are so sorry for your loss.  Dick was a wonderful family friend and will be missed.

Always enjoyed the visits with Dick and Penny whether they be in Arizona or Denver.  We will pray for the soul of Dick and also ask God to give strength to Penny and family during these sad times.  God bless you all.

Bob & Joan Lennon and the St. Francis H.S. Class of 1950.

He was a wonderful man and a wonderful friend.  We loved him and we will miss him.
