  4. What to say about Dick; he was the best co-worker I have ever worked with. He made me smile ever day, I would always walk in the Fedex hub with a smile on my face ready to work, and he would come up to me and say you and that smile, I would say I love life and my job. He always made me feel good about myself. He took care of us when our team leader passed away and did an outstanding job. He kept us smiling and always told us to do our best and keep up the good work. I will miss him so much. He was the best co-worker and friend I have ever had. My prayers are with his family. Take care and God bless you all. 🙂

    Love,
    Amanda Blackburn
    PS: I will keep smiling for you Dick. Thanks for making me smile.

  5. Dear Caryl & boys,

  6. I just met Dick in October as a new agent with REMAX. He introduced himself to me within a few days after I started and asked me if there was anything I needed. He circled back a couple of days later to check on me. I detected quickly that he was a very genuine person who cared for others. I am glad I got the chance to meet him. My heart goes out to his family.

  7. I did not personally know him but was his waitress on that tragic day and wanted to express my sympathy to his wife, family, co-workers and close friends. It really made me realize just how precious life really is…never to take even a second for granted. I will FOREVER keep his wife and family in my thoughts and prayers.

  8. Dear Caryl and family,
    Dick was always a dear friend to me and I will miss him greatly… You guys meant the world to him and he always talked about all of you, hoping that eveyone would be happy and live life to its fullest…I will keep you in my prayers..Love and Friendship, Susie Verry

  9. Dear Caryl:
    Dick and I were at IU together (mutual friends of Beth Zoeller, Steve Beatty, and others). Beth & I talked to you at Macy’s this summer. We will always remember Dick as a very funny, very fun and kind person to be around. I am very sorry for your loss. May God bless you and your six wonderful sons.

  11. I’m so sorry about your loss. May God Bless You and Keep You in His most precious hands through your time of grievance and help you keep Him in your life to help you grow through His grace for years to come.

  12. Caryl-
    I had the privalege of getting to know Dick when I was employeed with Stewart Title and he was one of our frequent agents. Closing a deal could be very frustrating at times, and regardless of how frustrated he might have felt, he never lost that smile or his compassion for others. He was a joy to work with and know briefly. I cannot imagine your grief and you and your sons are in my prayers.

    Sincerely,
    Shirley Meyer

  13. I worked with Dick at Re/Max Real Estate Group from 1993-1997. Dick was one of my favorite people there. He was so easy to work with and always made me laugh. His love for his wife and family was quite evident. I echo what many others have said here – he was one of the “good guys”. I pray for peace and comfort for his family in the days and years to come.

  14. May the prayers of those who care help ease the pain you’re going through.And the sweet memories of your loved one bring serenity to you.

  15. Prayers for your family. It was truely a gift to of met Dick. I met him 3 years ago at RE/MAX Real Estate Groups and went with him to Legends. A man I always saw with a smile on his face and his eyes smiling right along. One of the warmest people I have ever met. Again sorry for the loss of many. He truely is special.

  16. My son worked with Dick at FedEx for the last year. He will truly miss him. He was so much a part of their workgroup in which they had many fun times. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. I know he will truly be missed by all…

  17. Condolences and prayers to your family. I had the opportunity to meet Dick at Re/Max Real Estate Groups!! I was only there a short while although, I did appreciate Dicks quick, and well advised responses as managing broker to business I had question about!! He did his job well!! Our thoughts and prayers are with you family!!

  19. Dear Caryl,

    We are so sorry to hear of Dick’s passing. Marilyn sent an email to let us know. He was taken much too soon, but God has a plan for him I am sure.

    I always remember Dick’s smile and laugh. He had such a joyous face and his laugh was infectious. Dick and I (Mary) were baptized and joined the church at the same Easter Vigil. A blessing I will always share with him.

    Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your boys. You all were richly blessed with Dick’s life and presence, and now you have precious memories of him with you always.

    Much love,

  20. I worked with Dick at FedEx the past 4 1/2 years. He truly was one of the good people. He is one of a handful that I have worked with at FedEx that I considered a true friend. God took him much too soon – he will be greatly missed. You and your family have my sincerest condolences.

  21. Dear Carol and Boys,
    Our Prayers and thoughts are with all of you! Dick was a very special family guy.. I remember taking Paige & James for Halloween at your house growing up.. All of our love and prayers to you and the boys.. Ginger, Paige, Dan & James Crafton

  22. May the Lord bless,keep,and comfort you. May you find peace in knowing the Lord will never leave you or forsake you during this time of need. My heartfelt condolences are extended to the entire family for the loss of your loved one. Our paths crossed briefly at Re/Max Legends Group,to which was a delight. Remember to look to God who gives peace that surpasses all understanding.

  23. You are always in our thoughts and prayers. Dick’s laughter and smile will be missed by all, but never forgotten. As cousins, I will always cherish the memories.

  25. My heart goes out to Dicks family. I met Dick when I was with RE/MAX. Such a great friend. There are so few real people in life and Dick was a real special person.

I will miss him greatly. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you from all us here at RE/MAX Real Estate Groups / Legends Group

  31. I used to baby sit for Dick and his brother and sisters. His father worked for my father and our mothers were very good friends. My condolences go out to you and your family.

  32. Dear Caryl and family,

    My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this awful time. Lean on each other, and in your faith in God, and know that your ACC extended family is with you always.

  33. My deepest sympathy goes out to the family. Dick was in my class at Plymouth and also went to elementary school with me. The class of 67 will miss you Dick.

  34. The news shocked me, though I haven’t seen Dick in a few years since I have been working on other sides of town. I have known and worked with Dick for years. He was a wonderful man, all of you are in our thoughts and prayers.

  35. I wanted to offer my deepest sympathy to Dick’s family. I worked at ReMax Real Estate Group II with Dick for just a couple of years but he was always the nicest friendliest man. His family meant everything to him. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

  36. Oh Caryl, I am so very, very sorry to hear about Dick. It’s been so many years since I’ve seen you (gosh, I used to babysit Ted!) but what I remember from the time we met in our days at the Sheraton is how much respect and love you and Dick had for each other, how you made each other laugh and especially how much family meant. Please know that you and the boys are in my heart, thoughts and prayers.

    Love,
    Kitty (317-457-9550)

  37. My deepest condolences. Dick was a close bud in high school. Immediately after graduation we took a road trip to California with another close friend which was an unforgettable experience. Richard was a great guy with a great laugh and sense of humor. I have fond memories of all the fantastic times we shared during our younger years.
    May God bless him and you in your loss.

  38. Caryl
    My first real estate transaction 5 years ago was with Dick and to my amazement I later ran into him at FedEx and worked with him for the last year. We would haze each other a lot. That I will miss dearly.
    Caryl to you and the boys I say;

    And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony, And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, as you teach and admonish one another in all wisdom, and as you sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
    Colossians 3 14-17

  40. Caryl: I was so sorry to read about Dick’s passing. My prayers are with you, the boys and your family.
