 Today we all want to thank God,  for Dick Tiller’s life in our own way as a brother, a husband, a father, a grand father, a neighbour and a friend.
-Dick suffered a severe stroke last Friday. He had a mild one not so long ago and was grateful that he came through that experience almost unscathed, but he was concerned that if he had another he could be left an invalid. He was spared that and last Saturday afternoon around 3.30 p.m., exactly 5 weeks to the day, Dick's life came to a peaceful end.

 And he loved whistling, especially I am told, when he was getting breakfast. Mind you, he would never have won a prize for whistling - he just enjoyed doing his way. Although there was always a slight weakness in his chest he had fairly good health most of his life.
