Fairbanks Family Reunion
Cowboy Dick
My father in law was a great father. He was always kind and listened. He loved Pat so much. He always gave. His family was always first. His neighbours were so important to him. I appreciate knowing that his friends have always been there.
Marcie & Ed, Dave & Ethna, Thank you.
Everyone be safe, be kind.
Dolly Friesen (wife of Michael Greeve)
We are so deeply sorry for your sudden loss. It has been an honour to have known and have spent time with Dick. He was truly an exceptional man. We will miss him terribly. Our most sincere condolences.
We wish to extend our most sincerest condolences to the family of Dick as he will be missed by everyone who were blessed to know such a nice and kind person. He was a wonderful person, friend and we shared some wonderful times together. He will be very much missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. RIP.
Thanks so much for making it possible for us to be part of the “celebration of life” for Dick. Such a blessing. LeRoy has such good memories of their youthful years when his Dad married Dick’s Mother. It’s difficult for him to know he is gone. Hearing Dick tell us of his relationship with God through Jesus Christ gave us the joy of knowing we will meet again. What joy!
Richard was both my neighbor and my friend. He made me smile every time I saw him. I will always miss him.
