Dickie is my cousin. He was such a gentle and kind person. He and one of my older Sisters, Margie Lou were like 2 peas in a pod. Together anything could happen. Dickie, Margie and I went often on Saturday to dance at the Pumpkin Ridge Grange hall in North Plains, Oregon. There we would meet his parents, aunts and uncles plus cousins for a night of fun. I remember him telling me that when he was born Aunt Ada, his Mom could put him in a shoebox because he was so small. Until his family moved to Columbia City his family was a close neighbor and inseparable. He is so loved and will be missed. I love you Dickie.
