Daniel L Basgall lit a candle

“We the neighbors of Dick and Trish have been saddened by the news of his passing. My family were next door neighbors for 35 years. Trish and Dick were the 1st ones to welcome us to the neighborhood when our house was under construction. My 3 children had the good fortune to know such an honest, sincere and wonderful man. When neighbors get together, we still recall his jokes and stories. Dick, we know you are at peace, but a piece of you will remain in our hearts. Neighbors on Peachtree Lane”
