Below are some comments we’ve received from Readers:
Knew Dick for over 50 years. Friend at Highline Hich, co-community worker through Burien Chamber of Commerce, Highline Community Hospital Foundation Board, 4th of July Parade, Miss Burien Scholarship Pageant, Political volunteer, but most of all a shared love of Burien and young people. He was truly a giver and he gave out of a sincerely giving heart. Never expecting or wanting anything back. I draw comfort knowing I’ll see him again at a much bigger reunion.
