He was a very good friend of my brother in law Ron Opine! May he rest in peace! My sincere condolences to the family!
Rest easy uncle and say hi to dad. Watch over us.
His laughter is what I will remember most.
If I could talk to him today, I’d tell him he’s been 89 years old for about 40 years now — and I know he’d laugh and laugh. 🙂
He will be deeply missed by many. Rest in peace, old friend.

OMG! So sorry to hear this news! I don’t have words to express how my heart aches for Sherry. Dick was a wonderful friend to my husband Dale and to me. I hope their 2 beautiful souls are sitting in a boat, having a beer and fishing for walleye. Love you my friend.!
Gone but never Forgotten 😘….
Rest in Peace my Friend…
What a loss to many of us! I will always remember his quick wit and laugh and his hugs. Fondly called “One eyed Dick” never bothered him and smiled and shook his head with a chuckle. Fish, drive that beautiful car, party with all your friends up there and know how much we will miss you. Sherry, we are all here for you, love you my beautiful friend.❤️ peace and prayers.
My condolences to your family members Dick. We all loved playing golf with you for your “happy go lucky” personality
Always charming, quick with something nice to say and always a gentleman
A true example of what a good man does and says when you see them. I always felt better just by seeing you Dick. We’ll miss you my friend until we meet again.
It won’t be hard to find you. Youll be where to the people have gathered to laugh and cry.
Rest in piece my friend🥲
