    Babes, Kathy and family, Dick was one of those people who brought smiles and laughter wherever he went through his personality and his music. I know that during these “grown up” years we haven’t seen each other often but childhood memories with your family are fond ones for me and as a “grown up”, seeing you at the store was always a great thing. Smiles and hugs still came easy. I guess now we hold on to the wonderful memories of Dick, of being Santa, playing music, at the lake, and for you all, so many more. You are all very special to us and we are here, if at this time or in future, we can be of help. We are so sorry for this great loss. You’re in our thought and prayers.

    Babes, Kathy & Family,

    I am so sorry to hear of Dick’s passing. When I think of Dick, I see him and Dad sitting with guitars, playing and giggling trying to see who could tell the worst joke. I figure Dad met him at the pearly gates with a guitar in his hand saying, come on Dick, let’s jam. He has gained his wings and will always being looking over you. Keep your memories close to your heart. They will help you through the tough times.

    Liverpool lost a great man this week, not only was Dick a proud family man, but also a great entertainer on stage and off!! We will miss him, his music, and his sense of humour so much at the Clubs he attended.
    The Liverpool Lions and the Liverpool Seniors will have a sense of his absence. Our Christmas Parties will
    Not be the same without Santa Dick, he had the best knee to sit on! Dick, you fought a hard battle, now we know you will receive your just rewards. It will be a long time before we fill your place at our table every Thursday, REST IN PEACE dear friend.

He had a unique singing talent and accompanied many groups and bands doing what he loved. I remember his involvement in our Able Cable telethons, working behind the scenes running the camera and in front of the camera performing his favourite songs for viewers to enjoy. Just a few months ago Dick helped entertain groups such as the Senior Activity group and other events. He surely will be missed. God Bless You.

Your quick wit and genuine concern for those around you were what drew so many of us to listen intently to your jokes, your stories and your songs. Thank you for taking the time to show me the ropes on guitar during the jams. Every time I hear or play that song I’ll think about you my friend.

    Dear Babes and family:

    We were truly sad to hear of Dick’s passing. Growing up on King Street with Dick and his brothers and sisters, I have many stories to tell… the BOYS on the hill had a lot of fun playing ball and fishing, and just generally hanging out – our mothers were saints for not putting us in jail at one time or another … but both mothers looked out for all of us at all times.

    Over the years, when I lived away, Dick and I did not keep in contact but when I moved back here in the area after 45+ years, Dick and I picked up right where we left off, as if time had not passed at all.

    Dick had a gift for music and loved to share it with others to bring joy to all around him. I know that Murray and Gary share our grief at this time and want the family to know Dick will be forever in our memories of good times on the hill and how good friends are made and kept forever.

    Gail and I want you to know you will be in our hearts, thoughts, and prayers in the days ahead. God bless you and please know that Dick will be singing along with Elvis now, and entertaining all the heavenly angels on a daily basis.

    With sincere sympathy and love,

    Dave and Gail Goulden

    To Babe’s and all of Dick’s family,
    We are so sorry to hear of Dick’s passing.
    Gary absolutely loved playing along with Dick at the Manor or backing him up at many Variety shows or the Christmas Parties at the Lions Hall!
    He had a priceless sense of humor and I so loved the jokes/stories he would tell! Sing your heart out Dick and rest easy 🙂
