On behalf of the Forest Lake American Legion Post 225, we give thanks for Richard’s military service to our country in the National Guard.
Mike Rotter, High school friend and best man at my wedding and I was best man at his. We were buds thru high school. We both were in the National guards together. We shared many adventures together. He had a laugh that that was contagious. Last time I seen him was a year ago. We promise we would get together and it did not happen. Dick and Betty where great friends of mine in my early life. I will never forget the time that we spent together and the fun we had. He will always be part of my life. Thank you Dick for sharing a part of my life with me. Rest in peace my friend.
So sad to hear of Dick’s passing. I considered him a very good friend & having enjoyed helping build cars with him & the guys at Big Dick’s Speedshop. I’ll miss his crazy sense of humor, the little quirky smiles & faces he made. One of the nicest guys I’ve ever known. Rest in Peace my Friend & breathe easy.
Loved both my sister and her husband, Dick! We had a double wedding together and celebrated 50 years together all except 2020 because of Covid! we Will miss both more than words can express!!!
