Branson, MO Thursday, September 26, 2013 God saw that you were tired so he came and took you home. He knew you were a Christian so it didn't take that long. You achieved great things on earth and I can only imagine what he has in store for you to do. Be a hammer or a saw I'm sure you'll still do good things in heaven.Rest in Peace, Uncle Dick.
