Ode to Dick, 1945 – 2023
Richard Munday, my neighbor dear,
Oh no, just heard, so sad to hear,
My friend Dick, no longer here.
A tragic loss, condolences galore,
Our driveway chats will be no more.
Dick was a friendly chap indeed,
Never complained, no sense of need,
His family always full of cheer
We lived quite close, good to be near.
But that is gone, so much recourse,
No easy way to show remorse,
We’ll lend a hand with no restrain,
A small token to ease the pain
We’ll struggle on, all the while,
Life keeps on, so keep the smile.
Murray & Nicole Allen
Diane I am so sorry for your loss. Thinking of you and Dik’s family with deepest sympathy.
I had the pleasure of knowing Dik for many years dating back to when we were both members of the Newlands Golf Club in Langley. It was fun playing golf with Dik and he would keep me on my toes. I would often outdrive him, but then I would make a terrible second shot and he would be snickering in the background, usually followed by something like, ”but nice drive”! He had a great sense of humour, would help anyone in need and was a true gentleman. I hadn’t seen him in years after we left Langley and when I saw he had joined Gallaghers we had a chance to catch up over a beer and had great fun reminiscing about our time at Newlands. I was truly saddened when I learned of his passing and he will be missed by anyone whoever met him. Diane, I’m so sorry for your loss of your sole mate.
