I remember when I was a kid branding at the McDonald place. Dick put me on a black horse and let me rope a pen of calves. I never forgot that. I hadn't seen Dick for many years and extend my sorrow for your loss.

I was sorry to hear of the passing of Dick. May God be with you Loretta and family. I remember Dick from when I worked at Cedar Pass Lodge, as he would come out for coffee.

I have wonderful memories staying with Uncle Dick and Aunt Loretta during the summer growing up. One time my Mom toke my horse Shorty to stay too for I could ride and gather the cows with Uncle Dick, for branding. That was a great time and I had a brand new saddle, Uncle Dick would twist my stirrups to form them. I think of those times often. Love to all Debbie
