Our deepest sympathy and condolences go out to Cassandra on the loss of her father and to all of the Sommers family for the loss of a father-in-law and a grandfather to the children. Our prayers are with all of you and the extended Weaver family at this time and can only hope that his passing has taken him to a gentler place than he has experienced of late. May he be at rest.

Dick was a very nice guy. Enjoyed talking to him when he would call his brother, Bob, and I answered the phone. He was very funny, and we had many conversations. Enjoyed seeing him and Rita, Bob,and Kathy last year at the boat. It had been 7 years since I seen him. I have sent him cards, and have been praying for him. He will still be prayed for as well as the family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Carmel and Jay Campfield
