Oh, Uncle Dick...I cannot believe you’re gone.  I have some of the fondest memories of you.  I also remember what good care you took of my mother. May you Rest In Peace, a d know I love you.

Aunt Kay, and Lanna...I’m so sorry for your loss. I love you both. 

Danny & family,
I just want to tell you how sorry I am to hear of your dad's passing.   May you find peace and comfort thru your family and all the memories you shared. 

With heartfelt sympathy,
Angie (Owens) Neuberger

To my favorite father-in-law. ..
Richard was the first to accept me into the Starkweather family after Dan and I were married.  I figured he liked me because I was a nurse and he could tell me about his medical complaints. At times he would tell Dan "give the phone to your wife so I can ask her something."
Mostly I would just listen and smile, occasionally say "uh huh" and "your right Dick,  those doctors don't know what they are doing! "
He made me laugh with his gruff voice and onery comebacks.  I will miss his visits to Kansas and grilling hamburgers for him.
I am thankful to have known "Ricardo " and am glad I always got my goodbye kiss..whether Suzie liked it or not!
Love Always. .DeeDee

Lanna and Family
I remember when we camped out back in your folks backyard.  We had a great time.  I am so sorry for the loss of your father.  I will always have that memory of those times that we shared during that summer.  I know you have your faith and it will carry you though this difficult time.  My kids lost their dad a year and half ago also it has been hard but time does heal.  You will have your memories of your times together.  God blessing to you and your family.

Uncle Dick,
The best thing you did for me was to there with me during mom’s passing. She knew you were there and it meant so much to me. 
I will never forget spending weekends with you Aunt Kay, Lanna and Danny, and who could ever forget you horse Buck. You loved that horse. 
I remember our HUGE family gatherings in Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Years Eve.   I miss them so much.  
And who could forget your CB radio, Dallas Cowboys and Lanoma Beach.
Aunt Kay I love you very much.  To Lanna and Danny, I know how hard this is for you and your mom, I just want you to know I love you so much and you and I want you all to know you will always be in my heart. 
Uncle Dick you gave the best hugs and I will miss you dearly.   Rest In Peace. 
I love you,
Cheri

When we first moved to Lincoln nearly 8 years ago, Dick & Kay were among a few of the folks who welcomed us to the neighborhood. We took an immediate liking to them. Dick loved to tell us about his time driving a truck and sharing his joy of gardening. He and Alberto would work on that together on occasion and we were blessed to reap the rewards right along with him. (He grew great jalapenos). Alex shared that he thought Dick was a really nice guy and will miss him. Dick, you will truly be missed, it's hard to imagine not seeing you out in your yard.
