I don't know where to begin to share all the great memories I have had with my uncle Dick. I remember when I was a little tyke maybe 13 he would let me drive his car (I think it was a Nash as we called it the upside down bathtub car) around Wick Park which was adjacent to Elm St. We shared a few brews together over the years and shared lots of stories from his Army days, to living in California and New York and many of his traveling days plus I got to meet several of his friends. This man also drove so many of our relatives to other relatives who may have been sick in a hospital or nursing home. He would often do this on his lunch hour in addition to after work. He always had a helping hand for our family and for that I am grateful. TO Louise, Richard, Bill, Rob and Tamara my sincerest thoughts are with all of you at this time. Take comfort in knowing he is no longer suffering and is probably enjoying some happy times with so many of our extended family. I can hear his mother right now. Where have you Been?? LOL REST HIGH ON THAT MOUNTAIN UNCLE DICK.

Thank you, Mr. Groucutt, for fond memories of your welcoming home on Halleck St, taking me to Pirates games, and teaching me to bet the boxed trifecta. Thank you most of all for being a father who was deeply loved and admired by your son and my dear friend, Bob.
