Sally and family — was so sorry to hear of Dick’s passing and the loss of another class of ‘58 Belle Center classmate. Dick and I grew up together in the same neighborhood and in the United Methodist Church. He could be ornery at times but deep down had a heart of gold. Draw on the memories in the coming days, they will sustain you as you walk this journey called grief. Sending love ?? and prayers ??

The Murphy gals (past and present) will definitely miss him! I always looked forward to seeing him on or near his birthday, so I could buy him a lottery ticket. He was an awesome guy!
