His brother and sister-in-law Curt and Bobby Dickson of Abilene, TX. Nieces Sherry and Trissa, nephews Kyle and Carl and their respective families. Richard, Rick, Opa, or most recently, Santa Claus Rick, was an honest man (just ask his buddy Monty McNair), a friendly man, recognized in his community for his warm smile that beamed from behind his big white beard.

I was informed of your loss today. Although a time of sadness for the family, the positive we all have is our greatest gift is eternal life with our Lord who provided that gift.
On a personal note, I MISS YOU NERDZILLA Janis.

I just found out this evening about Richard; he was an extraordinary man, who loved Jesus, appreciated the need for hard work, and was true craftsman at his trade. I will recall with fondness his help in getting our business started in 1990.
Blessings to you and your family and may the peace of God abide with you.
