Dick and I were friends for a long time. We fought side by side on war against crime etc. for the City Of Madison PD! I could never ask for a better friend, backup and great person to be around and have a lot of laughs along the way! Kay and the family; our sympathies are with you and we will always remember the camping trips, hunting together, Canada trips together with you! Love Bob & Rochelle Birrenkott
