Rick, Kim Jim and Debbie, Thinking of you all at this most difficult time. Seeing the pictures of Pappy and Joyce flooded my memory with the great times we had at the Moreland Avenue homestead. Let us know if there is anything we can do.

I don't have a story. I have memories of times spent on Moreland Avenue with my paternal Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles. We always started the visit at Grandma and Grandpa's but would soon be sent next door to Aunt Joyce and Uncle Dick's house. There were five of us and our cousin Ricky....and later Jimbo....but those are memories for another time.
Uncle Dick was a quiet man. He had a a chuckle/laugh...soft and contagious and smiling eyes. His hands were rough and stained from oil and grease. But, those hands were gentle as they reached out to wrap any of us children in the warmest hug imaginable! Love you, Uncle Dick!
