We were neighbors of Dick & his family. I remember as a child admiring Dick for his dark tan every summer. I recall him going shirtless during the summer, & trying to emulate him by doing the same. So sorry to hear of his passing.
to the Thul family, please accept our condolences on Dicks’ passing , he always had a chuckle and a hug! Russel & Myrna Blanchard
My condolences to the family and friends.
Our deepest sympathies. Kevin had a good visit with your dad the day of our auction sale. We will be thinking of you tomorrow during the service.
Our sincere condolences to the Thul family. May you all cherish your wonderful memories and hold them close to your heart.
Dick was a great neighbor who enjoyed the walks with his dog and visiting. A great story teller and someone who truly loved his family and was proud of their accomplishments. I enjoyed his words of wisdom.
Sorry for your loss Ron , Pat and all of Dicks. family. I saw your dad a few times this past year . He was always smiling. The last time was at the Drs office. What was so remarkable was that everyone that was coming or going stopped to say hi and he always had a wise crack. A truly nice caring man.
Your dad always had a smile and a kind word to share either as he was out walking the dog or chatting to our boys as they delivered the newspaper to his home on Calypso Dr. Sending heartfelt sympathy to all of you.
Dear Ron and all his Family, I’m so sorry for your loss, please know your in my Thoughts and Prayers
