I’m Dicks cousin. I remember Dick from when we we kids . It was the highlight of our summer when Dick and the all the Weigleins came to visit . The fun we had is etched in my memory. The times our families would meet at Pa’s in Muskegon are some of my favorite childhood memories Driving to Saint Albans to visit are some of my best. It’s unfortunate that time goes by so fast and we so easily grow apart. It’s one of life’s regret I think we all share . I will always remember Dick as someone as a younger cousin I looked up too . Dick may be gone but will always be apart of my memories ,life and special place in my heart.
