Dick and Eileen were married for forty-four years. She felt honored and privileged to be married to a husband who was loving, sincere, and whose integrity was beyond reproach. They had a wonderful life together raising their children and spending time with their grandchildren. He was also fortunate to have many great friends in his life. He will be missed by all who knew him.
