Dear Aunt Josephine, Rita and Karen: I cannot begin to express how sorry Jim and I are on the loss of Richard. He was the oldest of the Grendzinski family cousins and he was looked up to by all of us younger cousins. I remember spending many Thanksgivings with him and our grandparents on the family farm. We always had a great time at these get-togethers. I'd like to believe that Richard and my brother Jerry are now spending time fishing together, since they both seemed to really enjoy that sport. Take care and please know that our prayers and thoughts are with you always, but especially at this difficult time.
Love to you all,
Sharon and Jim Dunn

Jane, Phillip, Darcey, Diane and Alvin Grendzinski send our condolences to Karen, Elizabeth and grandchildren for the loss of a husband, father and grandfather.
Dick would say how good the family is at home, while we were fishing at the lake. He was always glad the come up to lake to be with guys for some R & R, but he was just as ready to get back home to be with the family.
Take good care of yourself and behave in Heaven. God is lucky to have you. Love.
