I had the pleasure of meeting Dick and his wife through taking care of one of their family members.....Both Dick and Joann are very sweet people..I always enjoyed joking around with Dick....but he was always quick to give it right back.....always joked about NASCAR..and whatever came to mind.....My thoughts and prayers go out to the Coddington family....God Bless you....
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
