    I am so sorry to hear about Dickie. We first met when Little League baseball began in Denison in 1951. Dickie played for the Houston Dad’s Club Tigers. He was one of the top hitters in the league and a very good player. We knew each other up thru Jr. and Sr. High. I saw him last a year or so ago. Always friendly. I considered him a friend. The Class of ’58 will miss him. May the family sense God’s love and peace during this time of loss. David Maddux Allen, TX

    So very sorry for your loss. I have known Dickie for many years. I had the car lot across the street from the grocery store. He was a life long time friend. WB Williamson

    I am so sorry for your loss. Growing up my Mom and Dad did all of their grocery shopping at Vest Bros. Grocery and I knew Dickie as the butcher. My maiden name was Judy Metcalf.
