OMG! Dick Mohr has been a life long friend, along with his side kik Nate DeVeso. We all did so much together, but as like goes, we went on with our lives. We, Nate and I knew Diane vary well as Diane and Richard were dating in high school. I remember going Trout fishing in West Coy. The last time I saw Richard in person was in the showroom of the Chevrolet dealership on Grand Island, in 1984. He will NEVER be forgotten, and the laughs we had together are permanent. Miss you so much, and I hope Diane is doing okay. All I can say is Rest in Peace old friend! Joe Guadagn and Nate DeVeso.

Good to hear that you're still around Joe. To add to Joe's story Dick and I became friends the very first day of kindergarden and remained close through the years. I was at the funeral and can report that Diane and the family are doing as well as can be expected under the circumstances. Dick was diagnosed with a lung condition several years ago and knew that eventually a lung transplant would be his only chance. Unfortunately, the condition suddenly progressed very rapidly in July and August and the chance for a transplant never materialized.
Dick, may you rest in peace.
