Dear Mark,

I am deeply sorry for your loss. Nothing I can say can ease your grief, but be consoled in your faith. And I know that your dad was a great man because I have seen the proof in his son.

Uncle Dick.. Your memory will always be in my heart...especially one Christmas at grandma's (Bonnie) when you let me win a game of checkers.. I thought I was good!! Give grandma a kiss for me! God Bless

Uncle Richard will truly be missed, he was a wonderful man and has a wonderful family. Keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers.

We are saddened by the passing of our good friend and we wish to express our condolences to family and friends. Richard was a great joy to know and was very important in the publishing of the CHECKERS Magazine by the ICHF. His story telling and accounts of tournaments are unsurpassed. A more in-depth tribute will be found in the next publication of CHECKERS. God Bless you all. The Walker Family

Our sincere condolences go to the Fortman family. Faye, even though I only got to see the two of you a few times, I was always impressed by the love you shared. May the memories of your 58 years together bring you comfort until you are together again.
David and Cindy Kaymark
