Uncle Dickie was the best uncle! There was never a time I was around my uncle that I wasn’t laughing and in tears from him making jokes or playing pranks on me and my sisters. He was loving, fun, funny and always having a good time, no matter what we were doing. He reminded me so much of my dear grandpa. I know grandma and grandpa are with him now. I love you so much uncle Dickie. You’re already very missed. We’ll take good care of Aunt Gorana!
Uncle Dickey was a part of my life since I can remember. Growing up with his children Marc and Courtney in Homestead FL hold great memories. My mom and dad met because of Uncle Dickey when my dad knew him through his work. If it weren’t for that introduction, I wouldn’t be here. Uncle Dickey had a dry sense of humor and couldn’t tell when he was serious or joking. During the last visit to our house we had some family photos made that will forever be cherished. We love you and miss you but we will see you again one day. ❤️
My heart is so heavy and aching.A beautiful man, husband, father, Grandpa, and friend has crossed over. He meant so much to all. He was loved beyond words. His smile and eyes could melt your hear.His humor would make you grin. He will be missed by so many. So, until we see him again, he will be ... Forever in our memories and forever in our hearts. 💕Much love to you Dick 😘 Mary
Uncle Dickie will be missed greatly by friends, family and loved ones. I will always remember the laughs we shared, as well as the jokes and pranks he played on me as a kid. May you Rest In Peace. We love you forever and will see you again some day.
Love, Maury
Being with Dick was always a fun experience. His passing is our loss.

Dear Richard, our dearest friend. We were so deeply sorry when we heard the news about your parting and leaving us all. It is so unfair that you could not and did not win the battle with this grave illness. So sorry dear friend. Goran. Leo and I will always remember you as a very smart, knowledgeable, generous, kind, humorous and dear person. We will never forget the days we spent together in Zagreb and three wonderful weeks in Atlanta, GA, in 1992 during the war in Croatia. You will never know how much it mean to us to be away from all the bad happenings, at least for a while Thank you for those wonderful moments filled with laughter and good spirit. Dear Richard R.I.P. and may your life in Heaven be a good one. You most certainly deserve it.

I know we all have to go but I was hoping that one day we would all be at sea together again. It doesn't have to be demanding Lubenice, Cres is also good. Richard also gave me a small booklet of quotations from Mark Twaine. I come back to her every now and then. Always with you Ivica, yours best man...
Dear Richards, thank you
for being a part of our lives. People only die when everyone forgets them. You, dear friend, will continue to live with us ... Jasmina and Ivica love you
The street is not the same without seeing Dick out walking Daisy or Tuga, with his friendly smile and funny jokes, that sometimes we only got five minutes later down the road. Gorana and Dick made the street a friendly neighborly place, and I miss him very much.
