My sincere condolences and sympathies to Joan and her family.
My sweet Pepere! How perfect is this photo – doing what he did best, laughing and smiling (usually because he just told a ridiculously bad joke). He was kind, thoughtful, devoted and hilarious. I am so lucky to have called him mine.
Rest In Peace Pepere. I will always cherish the amazing memories I had with you. I’m incredibly lucky to have had the time I did with you. Till we meet again. Rest easy
My deepest condolences to the entire family. I’m so very proud to have had him in my life through family. I was so pleased to have him be our best man in our wedding. May God bless your soul Uncle Richard. Love you
We’re going to miss you Dick. Mom will especially miss her golf partner. You were such a sweet man and always had a smile on your face. We’re glad you’re at peace. Sending condolences, love and hugs to Joan and family from the Snow family.
