    Kelly,
    Please accept my condolence and sympathy for the passing of your Dad. I remember one particular afternoon (I believe we were freshmen) building a float at your house with several other kids and meeting Dick. Beside having a great sense of humor he made each and every kid there that day feel like they were his kids. You and your family are in our daily prayers.
    God Bless
    Todd
