We were fortunate to have Dick and Alice as Union Road neighbors for a number of years. He was a great neighbor and was always willing to help with any projects we were involved in.

I have known Richard and Alice for many years and also Jessica since she was young. I’m so sorry I was not able to see you at the funeral Jessica. I sure hope you are feeling better and taking care. It was my privilege to know your Grandfather and to be able to help, along with Fr. Gary, at his funeral. You are in my thoughts and prayers and I hope to see you someday soon just around Oregon. Also, Mike says “Hi” and sends his sympathies. Take care and stay safe, Anne Dellemann
