    I went to the office today, and found out you had passed away.
    And yet the more I searched I realized you were everywhere ’60s ’70s ’80s ’90s Millennium too in pictures of Aunt Jane, Bruce, Mike and you.
    A great Uncle you will always be for every seared in my memory.
    I had a dream so beautiful and serene.
    Do not grieve, for from heaven he called
    “Wayne, you won’t believe…. I’ve made the biggest deal of all”

    Burl Wayne Clowers,

    Oh Dick, you are missed. I had the adventure of being Dick and Jan’s neighbor for 19 years. I grew up under their watchful eyes. Dick was like a brother to my father and Jan like a sister to my mother. Dick called me Joe and often recalled his first meeting with me when I was 4 years old and very proud of my bright yellow shoes. I do not remember the meeting but he would always remind me. I guess I approached our new friends telling Dick, “See my lemony shoes”! We became forever friends. Our families had dinners together, holidays together, and many camping trips and road trips together. And always made time for some fishing. Dick was always a step away for the good and the bad times.

    So happy you are home again with your love, Jan, Mike, Michael, and your loved ones who made the trip before you. I know you’re having a great time catching up with Glen and Mickey. Say hello to Evan for me. Happy fishing my friend.

    All my love,
    “˜Joe’ Allison “˜Vergara’ Sutton

    Richard McBride was my beloved uncle. Richard “aka Uncle Dick” was a friendly, warm and hospitable individual. Uncle knew how to tell fascinating stories too! I will remember him and his abundant garden with fondness. When visiting Richard we would invariably be offered some of the latest and delicious bounties from his garden as a parting gift, including onions and grapes. Uncle Dick will be deeply missed.
