Dear Cindy, As you know, so many memories of our families' friendship, for you and I, lifelong. So just two among the many--being carried on our dads' backs, after having fallen asleep in spite of ourselves, from "our" rented cabin back to yours. And then, the emergence of "Ricardo", master hair styler/colorer, sparking awe and delight in his bevy of "clients", as well as those of us simply witnessing his contagious generosity of spirit, sense of fun and humor, and evidence of a life well lived. He will be missed, but as others have said, lives on. Janet and Tim
There are so many memories growing up on Barryknoll with Dick and Lois. We used to decorate Christmas cookies, visit at the lake, or just go over for a visit. Dick always had a smile on his face. I doubt he ever had an enemy. Absolutely great people! I know my dad, Bob Barr, has lost a great friend. We were fortunate to know and enjoy our time with this family! This is shocking news to hear about Dicks passing, but now he is joining his wife Lois and son Matt in heaven. I can only imagine their happy hours now. : )
Much Love, Sara (Barr) Simmons
"Dear Len and Cindy--Since you have lost family in the past, you know that a Father, Mother, and Brother never fully leave your thoughts as wonderful life moments are recalled forever! In the time I spent with your Father during Lake visits, it was obvious that you and Len brought joy into a happy life. Cindy,I loved hearing stories from Dick of your childhood years at the Lake while pride spilled from his heart to his eyes. Cherish those memories forever knowing the time with family and friends is the best."

Len & Cindy -- Gregory & I have so many fond memories of your Dad including your parents' gracious hospitality in South Bend and, of course, the cottage. Sending love & prayers.
Had great times visiting at the Lake. Once Dick took us out on the pontoon on a beautiful sunny day. When we were farthest away it started hailing!! Dick just sailed on saying: "if you need more ice for your drink, just hold out your glass". He had a wonderful sense of humor.
We will miss you Dick! Gordon, Pilar, Cristy and Becky
