Just learned of your father's passing. I'm sorry I didn't know your Dad; the written comments certainly speak well of him. For all of your classmates of Tucker '68, I send our condolences. Our prayers are for comfort and peace for you, your Mom, and the others.

Your Dad was a great inspiration to me growing up. As a Coach he was so positive with all of his players, it brought out the best in us all.A great man of dignity! 
Sorry to learn about your loss.

Papa always had a smile on his face. He saw the good in everything and encouraged us to do the same. He was everything a grandpa should be, and I was lucky to have him in my life for as long as I did. Though his passing has been difficult, I am touched by the memories he left with all of us. "It's cryin' time again," Papa, but "I love you more today than yesterday, and not as much as tomorrow." -your Linny

The boys who roomed with Richie senior year at Tech will always be most grateful to Mr. Dunford for the constant supply of "expired Kraft food" he provided us. Mon. night meatloaf and Tues night spagetti got us thru the week. He was our hero.

Aunt Phyllis,Dee,and Richie. We so wanted to be there for you today and regret that we were unable to attend. I will carry the memories of Dick Neal with me always. He was a wonderful husband and father. His smile was truly contagious!

Dear Mrs. Dunford, Richie, Dee and family. My sincere condolences go out to your family. A flood of beautiful memories come rushing back to me about Mr. Dunford and your family that I will always treasure. Mr. Dunford was a great mentor for young boys. Keeping you in my thoughts.
Sincerely

I will always remember how fun Mr. Dunford was. He always had a smile on his face and a great laugh. I loved spending time at Dee's house growing up in the 70's. The Dunfords are great people! Let us know how we can help. We are here for you all.

We are praying for the Dunford and Meleski families at the passing of their endearing patriarch. While he has left us, his legacy and memory will remain. We are thinking of all of you constantly during this painful transition.We love you!

The Westerkam Family,
Danny, Mandy, Dana, Erin, and Ivey

Sense of humor, laughter, and the Richmond version of Johnny Carson. Mr Dunford drove us all over the city to watch Dave play ball. Heaven forbid if he would let Dee and the girls drive as far as Henrico or Lee Davis.  Wonderful memories help the grieving process. Becca

I will always have great memories of Mr. Dunford from my middle and high school years as a girlfriend of Dee. Mr. Dunford was always so energetic and fun...not to mention his fantastic personality and SMILE.  Great family.  We are thinking about you all and will be here if you need anything.

Our most sincere condolences to Mrs. Dunford, Richie, Dee and their families!  Mr. Dunford was a wonderful person and we especially admired his enthusiasm for life and for his grandchildren!  Thanks for sharing the pictures as they clearly illustrate his dedication and love for his family!

We love the Meleksi family, and keep them in our prayers during this time!
The Hudsons

Condolences to Phyllis,Richie,Dee and their families. Mr. Dunford will be missed but we know he is in a better place. We will remember each of you in our prayers in the coming weeks.
