t the bowling alley, heading out into the timber on his next hunt for bragging rites on the biggest rack, or even just sitting down in his favorite chair at home watching a favorite western like it was the 1st time he'd ever seen it. Many memories of Dick remain today and we will always treasure his unique words of wisdom and continually laugh at his humorous admiration of both the real and imagined "squirrels". Sadly, Dick has spent his last evening around the campfire and now most of the stories will thankfully be about the wonderful legacy he leaves behind. We will miss Dick with all of our hearts, but thankfully find peace in our minds with the faith that we will all see him again in time.Those left to cherish Richard's memory includehis loving wife,
