    Dear family, I want you all to know how sorry we are to hear of Uncle Dick. Literally until now didn’t know he was a Arnold Stephen??. I’m sure I knew when I was younger but you know how it is when you get older memory is not as it used to be. Please tell Aunt Louise how much I love her and am praying.
    With all my love,
    Amanda Lawrence

    Was so sorry to hear of Dick’s passing . I have many fond memories of camping and hunting with he and Greg . Dick was always quick with a joke or funny story and could really get you laughing.He will be truly missed.

    i am very sorry to hear about your lost, i know he has enter the kingdom of god. dick was a kind man. he used to come down here and sit on our patio while his son Bruce would cut our grass. now he is sitting in heaven next to our heavenly father. he would always tell us stories about his fishing times down at the lake. he always had a smile on his face, he was a good man. i will be praying for his soul and for the family.

    Uncle Dick was the father figure I never had growing up. Memories of camping on Black River, fishing in Chester, and collecting firewood on the farm will never leave me. Today I can still hear him playing Froggy Went A Courting on his banjo. Uncle Dick you will be missed by everyone, but never forgotten. Love Shirley
