Dominic Frank Richter

This pasts week was a very sad week for the Richter family, for we lost a very dear friend and father.  What I remember about Pa Richter:  When I first started dating Dale (My husband) his dad loved me from day one.  I never had to prove anything to him...  He loved me for who I was and not for someone that I could never be.  I only felt comfortable around a handful of people from my husbands side.  Now every person who I felt comfortable and accepted with are in the another world, we all refer to as heaven...
I remember on an occasion,  when Dales dad took me to pick up a lawn mower and I riped off the rear view mirror inside the truck.  I was scared, for I thought he was going to tell me a few words... But to my surprise he smiled and then Dominic took the mirror from my shaking hands and said, "Glad that is out of my way now, maybe I can see something"  We both had a great laugh..  I will always remember him as a caring man.  I will never for get him, for he makes me want to become a better person.  I will miss you, until the day comes when we meet again. And I will greet you with a big hug, but until then I will take care of your one amazing son......
