A special thank you to the staff at Lincoln Park Nursing & Rehab.
My sincerest condolences to Marcy and her family at this difficult time. Sending love and prayers.
I knew Dick over my many years in Racine. He was competitive in sports, as certain health issues took a “backseat”.
He was also very involved with the O.T.A.C. and contributed much to the world of sports.
Sympathy to his family,
Al Dandeneau from Wautoma

Sincere condolences to Dick’s family. I knew Dick from back in the Douglas Bowl days, the OTAC and the softball tournaments at Horlick Field. Wonderful memories.
