I would have been there had I heard. Dick was a good friend. He was one who could always come up with a nickname for any one. He taught me to stay on the right side of the road while driving his Delta ninety eight. Taught me sign language so we could sign and laugh while secretly smoking under the cottage at Crystal while Roland & Maxine were up above. I think they knew anyway. We got our Polar Bear patches together on a Wa-Wa winter camping outing. Dick brought everything needed to survive a winter blizzard that destroyed half the camp. Every one came to our tent and enjoyed the heat (provided by Dick) extra food (provided by Dick) a dry snow free place to put you head (provided by Dick)and cards to play. He was a good egg and fun to be with. You will be missed Dick. God bless.

Doris, My deepest sympathies to you and "the boys" (as you used to call them).  It was a privelage to have been part of your family and come to know you and Richard for a short time in the 80's. I still think of you two fondly these many years later when I see anything related to square dancing.   XO  Tina Louise Rapinoe

We think of you so often and are so saddened to hear of Dicks  passing. We have so many happy memories of skiing and camping and just coming to your home.

Doris and family,  I was so sad to hear of Dick's passing.  He and I worked together at Longs for many years...he making all the money at his store, and me and my staff protecting it.  God Rest His Soul.

Doris, Gil and family, so sorry to hear of Dick's passing.  He was my first "real" boss at Longs and I was scared to death of him, but as an adult I realized what a teddy bear he was.  I know the whole square and round dance community will miss him greatly. Peace and comfort to you all...

Rest in Peace Dick. I will see you soon.

Dear Doris...Kenny and I are just devastated over hearing about Dick's passing. What a shock for all of you and know how very sad you are. You will always be a loving couple in our eyes, such good neighbors and always having fun. So take care and try hard to adjust. I can't even imagine how bad you must feel. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.  Betty & Kenny Short

I so enjoyed knowing Mr. Reeves during my years at Longs, he taught me to work hard and have a smile for 'grumpy people'. Our warmest thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time.

Dear Doris and family, We will surely miss Dick here in Yuma, and, especially on the golf course. He was always such a good friend to us and all of our dance friends. He had a way of always making one feel special.  Love and Hugs, Don and Merlene

I am sorry to hear of your families loss! My thoughts and prayers are with you all durning this difficult time.

While I managed the Shasta Dam Area Chamber of Commerce, could always count on Dick to extend a helping hand for the children's programs we held.  In addition he was always willing to take the time to visit and share opinions and ideas.  He was a good man and a good addition to our community.  He will be missed.

Doris and Family, I am deeply saddened to hear of Dick's death.  I will always remember what a wonderful man and neighbor he was.  He will be missed.....
