Lori, I am really sorry about Dickie.I don't think there was ever a time when he did not have something to laugh about and he was so much fun to work with.He would always ask me "Scotty, where's my rods? can't weld without my rods". I will be praying for you and your family, Dickie was good to me and I won't forget him.

I have known Richard, Mike, and parents since childhood. My sister and I used to square dance in Groves with a group that included Richard and his brother Mike. I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with the entire Morvant family. Bonney

Richard & Lori, I am so sorry & sad to hear of Dickie's passing. Dickie was a very humble man, giving to someone if they needed anything. Gator & I lived by Dickie for 9 years and really got to know him before he moved to "The River" which he called home. He loved it there. He is heavy on my heart right now, thinking of all the good times with him. He was a character! Aways had a laugh! Rest in peace, my dear friend, Dickie. You are missed.
