Pop Dickie:)Ill never forget running across the street from the babysitters to play in your backyard and to get my daily dose of tootsie pops from your house, or loving the smell of your pipe, and even getting my own pack of bubblegum tobacco to be like you:)I cant imagine the holidays without you being there. You were always the life of the party and i hope all the joy and laughter you brought to us will live on. I know right now you are looking down from heaven smoking your pipe and smiling singing I love my Aberdeen:) Im sorry I couldnt be there but I hope you know I love you and Im thinking of you. xoxo

Pop-Pop Dickie, Where to start? First of all, thank you for welcoming me with open arms into the family when I married your grandson 22 years ago. I always felt loved by you and considered you my "grandfather" not a "grandfater-in-law". I never saw you in a bad mood and you always had a smile on your face. I will never forget your "old corny" jokes or your songs, especially Peter Murphy! You are leaving a legacy behind that will miss you, but certainly won't forget you. I'm sure your name will be brought up in conversations for decades to come! We all love you and know that you loved us, so go rest now and we will be united again one day in the Heavenly Kingdom that you now call home.

Pop Pop Dickie. Thank you for the many happy memories through the years. You will be missed this Christmas and all the family get togethers to come. Your friends and family were all there to say their goodbyes. We remembered you with sadness, but mostly happy times. Watch over your family down here and we will all see you one day. Though your best buddy David wasn't there to pay his last respects, he was thinking of you. Love you Always, Connie.
