Dick was our very dear and beloved cousin. We were close friends and always looked forward to long, fun-filled visits. His laughter was contagious and his sense of humor kept us all laughing.
He was the epitome of a family leader who elicited the qualities of family connection that was ingrained throughout the generations within the Bear family. We are all blessed and honored to be part of this remarkable family.
Sherrie and Sue (Higbee) Avery
I was pastor at Emmanuel UCC in Valley City when your father and mother joined the church. I remember them as outgoing, warm and cheerful members. May God comfort you in your grief. Dr. Marshall Cook
