Dear Worcester Family,
I just heard of the news this morning. I am so sorry for your loss. I'll never forget Mr. Worcester (and will never be able to call him by his first name!) and his loving kindness as a coach on the soccer field. He was a friendly face at church and no matter how much time had gone by, he always remembered me and was kind. I will miss him for sure.

Linda, Shannon and Molly:
We are so sorry for your loss - and our loss. Your husband and Dad was a great guy - always there with a warm smile and a ready laugh - and what a walker! We will all miss him and our thoughts and prayers are with you as you remember such a good man.

Linda and family,
I am so sorry to hear about this. I will remember Dick from our days at Drake and most recently our weekend golf games. He was always cheerful and a lot of fun to be around. He would have kind words for everyone no matter how our golf games were progressing that particular day. I always admired his strength both physically and mentally during these last several years. I am very proud to have known Dick as both a Phi Delt brother and a friend. He was a wonderful man and deep down an even better person. Please take comfort in knowing that my thoughts and prayers will always be there for him.

May he rest in peace and may you all, his family, find peace in your hearts and know that one day you will all be together again. It was a pleasure knowing and working for Dick. A great guy!

Dear Linda & Family. I knew Dick for the last 14 yrs as an employee of his at the SW Anderson Co. in Ohio. He was an up front kind of man, in which I liked. He was always kind and courteous to me and welcomed me into his Swaco Family. I am so sorry for your loss and I will miss him very much.
