On behalf of Alternatives for he Older Adult and myself, I extend my most sincere condolences for your loss. The time and effort that Dick contributed to the Money Management Program was a testimony to the integrity and strength of his character. I found him to be a very kind and generous person with a sincere desire to help those less fortunate. He will be missed.

So Sorry to hear of Dick's passing. I worked for Dick back in the 80's at Plow and Planter Employees Credit Union. I remember Dick and I went to Texas to pick up a repossessed vehicle and drive it back and along the way stopped several places to look at new computer systems for the Credit Union. I also remember Dick teaching the CCUE courses and since I lived a ways out of town, Dick and June fed me supper several times on class nights. Please accept my sincerest sympathies. God Bless you all, Larry Morine
