Gloria and the boys. Our sincere condolences to all of you in the loss of your loved one. May God give you courage and strength during this very difficult time and may wonderful memories of your love one keep a smile on your face. Our hearts go out to you. Betty and Kevin Coward-Dartmouth, NS

Our sympathy to Gloria, the boys, and all the family. We will forever miss Dick's quick witted humor and those little "ditties" as he strummed the guitar. Especially at the annual "clean out the fridge" gatherings here in Florida.

It was a very sad day when I heard of Dick's passing. I will miss his company, his witty sense of humor, and our conversations regarding his Naval career and his home town in Nova Scotia. My deepest condolences to Gloria and his additional family members. We have all lost a very special person...Jack Swan

Dick and his wit will be sorely missed. When my 100 year old father fell Dick was there immediately to care for him but this was Dick the first to care for others. All your Florida friends will miss you.

The greatest of whit , a joke for any occasion, a friend held in the highest esteem who will be remembered as a best friend and confidant. One who's outlook on life provided support for anyone who knew him, loyal steadfast and loved by all he touched. We will miss him without question and are grateful for our last visit. To Gloria and the boys hugs , kisses if you need anything let us know Karl and Chris

My sincerest condolences to the family. Rest In Peace

Remember "meeting the parents" of the first boyfriend. It was grade 4 for the kids! Sarah would have been around 10 years old and is now almost 45. Things change, circumstances separate people, but friends remember and say how sad we are. Thinking of you, Gloria and the family, from our family. Deb and Rick Dunham

Our deepest condolences to all of Dick's family. We have many great, fun memories of his visits to Torbay many years ago as well as a more recent visit, golfing with Tom and my brother Wayne. Farewell, old buddy! Jim ( and Dot) Eustace

Very Sorry to hear of Dicks battle with Cancer and his subsequent passing. My sincerest condolences to his Family and Friends. Dick and I followed similar careers. We were in Sea Cadets with Terra Nova Corps, St John's. We joined the Naval reserve unit HMCS Cabot, and from there we transitioned into the regular force. We never served in the same ships. Dick was a dedicated and professional seaman well respected by his peers. Dick had a great sense of humor and was always glad to host a gathering with a few playful jokes to acknowledge his shipmates.

so sorry to hear about this. to Gloria and the boys, I wish you all the best at this hard time. Dick will always be remembered for his talent with the guitar and songs and hockey skills. I played against him in the Halifax Senior league. He was a true gentleman.

Deepest condolences to the family on their loss. Dick was a great mentor and friend to many. Dick was my boss twice and my instructor once. He always had a witty joke or comment to fit the situation. He helped shape many a sailor into the leaders of tomorrow. Cheers to you Dick till we meet again, you will be missed.

my deepest condolences on the loss of your loved one,always had a kind word and smile when we met on the golf course, rest in peace dick.

I am very sorry to here of Dicks passing, I know my Dad Jim Carroll thought the world of Dick and i like to think they are having a beer talking about old times right now!

Gloria and family, very sorry for your loss. Back in '89/90 as a young naval engineer sent to the R.A.S. Deck of Preserver under Dick's supervision, I was in absolute terror of both the equipment and Dick. He ran the deck like a bulldog. But, when I saw that playful glint in his eyes, and after many hours of mentorship, I learned much about being a good human-being, and a decent sailor, that lasted me a 35-yr career. Sincerest condolences. We have lost one heck of a sailor. Fair winds Dick. Derek Cann

So very sorry to hear of Dick's passing. He was a fine man, and a superb "matelot."

He was a very decent man who served his country with great distinction. I wish to thank his family for sharing him with all of us. May he have eternal peace Peter Stoffer Fall River N S

All of Dick's family, So sorry for your loss. Please accept my deepest condolences. During my time in the Navy, our paths crossed many times both professionally and socially. Dick was always a pleasure to be around. I am sure that he will sorely be missed by his family and all those who were fortunate to have made his acquaintance. Rest in Peace my friend.

Gloria Bobby and Jamie; We are so sorry to hear about Dick passing away. Remember all the great times you all had together and keep them in your heart always. When you look up in the night sky and you see a special star twinkling down at you that is Dick letting you know he is happy and will always love you all and he will be watching over you. You have your very own Special Angel in Heaven. Love Peggy and Bill Romans

It is with a very heavy heart that I send condolences to Dicks loving family and those all close to him. I had the pleasure of sailing with Dick on the Terra Nova, playing hockey on his teams and having him tend to my injuries, while he was our trainer for the East Coast Naval Gun Run Team. He was a great mentor and always took the time to stop, chat and of course tell a joke. I consider Dick more than just a Boss, I consider him a big brother. He will be sadly missed, but never forgotten. Gerry Ross

A huge loss to you all, Dick doubted on his family and friends and the love of his life Gloria. Keep all those memories near to your heart. Morgan and I are sending our sincere Condolences to you all.

So sorry for the loss of your brother Dick, I remember him from our childhood on Nagles Hill, as I remember all of you. Again my sincere condolences. He was a wonderful person, and a funny guy.

Gloria and family, so very sorry to hear of Dick's passing. It came as a shock to all of us. Whenever he would come to Newfoundland for a visit he would always drop by for a chat. Needless to say he had a great sense of humour and could tell quite a few stories. When Dick was growing up he spent many summers in Torbay at his grandparent's home and he and my brothers would pal around together and get into the usual kind of mischief. When he spoke about you and the boys you could feel the pride in his voice for all of you. On behalf of my family please accept our sincere condolences and we will keep Dick's memory in our prayers. Judy (Eustace) Dawe and the Eustace Families.
