My sincere sympathy to the Simon family. I have very fond memories of Dick. When I was a child he worked for my Dad at Van Vickle Trucking. Sometimes the drivers would let me ride with them and he was one of my favorites to ride with. He treated me so good.
I had the pleasure of talking with Dick and his brothers just a few years ago at my Mom’s 90th Birthday party. I felt like a kid in a candy store having all those drivers together I idolized as a kid. It was very special to me that they would take the time to come to see Mom.
