I can’t begin to tell you how hard this has hit me! We were cousins, but I felt like Dicky was the big brother I never had! He even took me to my senior prom (I had never been), after I okay’d it with his new fiance’, Linda. Dicky’s one true love! I will miss our talks, but you’ll always be in my heart. Please give Larry a hug for me and enjoy the reunion with all the family. The one thing you always wanted us to do, but that we didn’t get done. RIP ‘Cuz’ (the way he always signed).
We are so sorry for the loss of such an amazing man who will always be remembered. Please accept our condolences and prayers ~ The Litman’s
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. May he rest in peace, leaving behind many cherished memories to provide a bit of solace to those left behind. Love you Tracy- we’ll be here for you when you come home ❤️ -Deb Newton
Was a pleasure to have known you. Thank you for the gift of a best friend in Tracy, even across the miles that remained strong.
You were fun loving and I smile fondly at the funny stories of adventures with Tracy. Snooker match and a flight to Barcelona to name one. Rest easy and I know you will be watching out for everyone.
Love to all the Family from Jo Orsmond and Gang. xxxx.
My condolences to the Peek family on the death of Rich. May he rest in peace
