Dick,

So many times you shared a Word from God in my life that changed everything! Your compassion and caring directed so many young men like me find our direction. You were a prophet, mentor, and friend. You are missed, but your seed will be carried on by many who you impacted! We miss you and ❤️❤️ You!

Dick was my Spiritual Father, my dear and sweet counselor, a precious friend who accepted me and my family at a very difficult time, with unconditional love, who blessed our home with his beautiful family : there were teaching times, laughing and fun times, encouragement and joy filled days! What precious memories I will always have!  wow. To have had the honor to sit at the feet of a Prophet and man of God and learn about my Lord! Who am I to be so blest ???  It is so hard to let go,oh how I will miss him, but. so full of joy to know he's with our Lord and his dear wife Lou fills me with hope!  A job well done my friend---- YOU WERE AWESOME!!!

To Michael and Ryan, wives and darling grandchildren: I leave you with a scripture: Jeremiah 29:11.      Love, Jerry and Hazel Martinez& Ken, Keith& Steven Forster and familys
